Not again
A story in the New York Times reminded me of the absolutely awful way Neupogen made me feel:
"Neupogen stimulates the growth of white blood cells and makes his bones sensate in a way he never thought possible; he can feel the marrow aching within them. Painkillers don’t ease the discomfort so much as they drug him into a foggy resignation that might, to a stranger, pass for repose."
I swear I could hear my bones creaking. A tooth cracked. It just *hurt*.
