Neupogen Shots and fever

Hi all - For anyone who has had neupogen (or other) shots fot WBC, did you ever find that it elevated your temperature?  I have had an elevated fever and chills twice, and was wondering if it might be more associated to the WBC shots than the chemo - or maybe both.  If it gets above 100.3, my Onco insists that I go to the ER - my Fever Card says it is extremely serious and can be neutropinia, which can cause death, and your bloodwork needs testing.  Thanks for any input.

    Shots

    I had the Neupogen shots but did not experience fever or chills; just the widespread bone pain.  I know, I'm not much help, am I.

    I hope that your temperature starts to go down.
