Body Ache experiment

I was wondering if anyone is currently experiencing body aches from Neupagen or Neulasta and would drink iced tea & see if it lessens or stops the aches?

I recently received high doses of Neupagen for stem cell collection. I received two shots every day for 7 days. I was warned that I would have painful body aches from it, I didn't get them until day 6.

That evening my family had game night, I joined in hoping to take my mind off the aches. My daughter brought me an iced sweet tea that I drank while playing. I started to feel better and by the end of the night the body aches were gone....and so was the tea.

I started thinking back over the week and realized I had consumed an iced tea every day except for day 5, coincidence??

While my stem cells were being collected I was given 3 high dose shots of Neupagen and was told I "will feel like crap". I drank iced tea that evening & was joking about when am I going to start feeling like crap?! I never did.

I also take a Claritin pill every day I'm getting the shots & for a few days after.

I'm curious to know if the iced tea will prevent/stop body aches for others or if it's just my own weird body reaction?

If anyone finds that this works (or doesn't) please let me know?

Hope it does!!!
