Hang in there Rudytrue, I don't know about Neupogen but I was put on Procrit for a short time before they took me off of tx .. It really sounds like you are having alot of trouble with the tx , I will be praying for you, remember that is the only chance you have at this time of clearing the Hep. I know it is the biggest fight you'll ever have to endure and it's for your life and anyone that is'nt in this position they have'nt any ideal as to the strain it put on a person mentally and physically.... Be Strong Friend... Hugs & Prayers, BlueEyed

I found alot of threads on here talking about neupogen and and people taking on treatment, but I've never taken it. If you don't get any responses right away, maybe these will help in the meantime.

Rudy,
I was on Neupogen for most of the 9 months I was on treatment last year. Other than having to take the additional shots I did not have any side effects at all other than those I was already having due to the interferon and ribavirin, which were pretty bad. Anyway, good news is if your experience is anything like mine the neupogen won't make things worse. Hang in there!

I just came off the neprogen, 3 shots weekly basically put me in bed most of the time. Extreame fatique, brain fog and disorentation. The side effects from each shot lasted 1 1/2 days each and I seriously considered cancelling TX if I had to stay on it.

I was put on Neup and proquit and unfortunatally I had side from both.But it does effect people differently. Just try and get thru it the best you can. Try doubleing your water intake so you don't get dehydrated. That is so inportant. Just hang in there it's not easy for everyone.

Hello. I have been on Nuepogen for 5 months now and my doctor has told me to stop taking it because my immune systen is too high. I will see her today. I did have some side affects such as more fatigue and more joint pain. I am taking Darvacet and it helps. Neupogen affects people in differant ways so try it and as always drink plenty of water. God bless. David

Hey, I was put on Neupogen my third week of treatment, I do 2 shots a week, which is a total of 3 shots a week with my Interferon. The medication only gives me slight joint pain, I take a tylenol and I feel fine.

This part of tx was the worst! Like you, I couldn't breathe, was forgetful, itchy all over, including the ears.
Your low WBCs are making you feel so badly...sounds like anemia. My dr lowered my riba from 800 mg to 600 mg so I didn't have to do the neupogen. Once the anemia problem is addressed you will feel much better. just saw my endocrinologist and am also severely Vit D deficient. He said that will also contribute to the fatigue. Am on prescription strength D and he tell me to take my calcium on an empty stomach.... Hang in there kiddo. The kinks just have to get worked out.
