Aches and pains

Day 3
Day 3 after chemo is notorious for its symptoms. Many start experiencing the side effects on the third day. This may change as you continue treatment, but your first one will be a roadmap to how you will tolerate them generally. There may be relief for the body aches, at least to a point. Have you tried pain relievers yet? Your onc. will have additional suggestions. I know this sucks, but it's part of it. You'll make it through and recover from this round.

My oncologist suggested that I take Claritin--It worked for me.
Ask your oncologist for recommendations.

I have the same problem...
I have the same problem on days 3-5 post chemo. I just finished my second round and it was exactly the same as the first. My onc also suggested claritin but that is not helping me. The only relief I get is from 3-4 ibuprofen = prescription strength. It will go away and you will feel better...but don't suffer needlessly. Work with your onc to find the right solution for you!!! Good luck! Pitt0 -

Claritin , now that's interesting since it's for allergies but if it works then hey why not? My wife is experiencing these pain symptoms as well and is looking for relief from the pain but was told no ADVIL !!! it's a blood thinner . She is administered something the Onc calls the "Pink Lady" & the day after it's the "Red Dragon" but I think it is this AC drug everyone is talking about ( tooooooooo many to remember ) since it is only given over a shorter period of time . Teresa has 3 more runs of this stuff and then 12 weeks of something no quite so potent according to the Doc. Then comes the surgery and finally 6 weeks of radiation or that is the current plan of attack for her . I know the Doc should always be in the loop but if there are things working for you ladies then please let me know so I can keep my lovie as comfy as possible.Are there any "comfort foods" anyone finds are easier on the system when dealing with the nausea?
Thank you all & Best Wishes

My aches and pains were from the Neulasta shot, too. Clariton is supposed to help a lot of people, but it didn't do too much for me. Although as chemo progressed, I began to get the bone pain on the day I got the shot. It would disappear the next day, so at least it was brief. I wish the same for you guys. Good luck.
