    That's how I felt when the chemo kicked in--usually Day 4 for me. Like a weird flu? Hang in there. It goes as quickly as it comes!

    Neulasta wipe out

    I found that the Neulasta really knocked me out days 3 and 4 each time.  I spent 18 hours in bed and 6 hours awake.  It does pass, and with the Neulasta, for me I felt I did not experience too many other side effects, so I suppose it did it's job.  So you just do your job - rest, hydrate, and nourish.
