I got a call from my doctor 3 months into my hep c treatment that I had no white blood cells and had to get a shot of
neupogen immediately! I was on
neupogen for 7 months, and I had all kinds of
side effects from it, especially on my left upper back and shoulder (it felt as if maggots were gnawing at my bones). I had pains everywhere which made me have panic attacks that I was having a stroke, not the case. Every time I showed up at the doctor telling him I was dying he said I was fine.
