    Claritin also helps with bone pain. no idea how, but, I can attest to that! didn't take it during 1st treatment and Neulasta. but have taken it ever since and I am not experiencing the bone pain from the first time.

    Thanks for posting Denise. No one really knows how it works, but it has been a life saver for many of us. Glad you've found relief.

    Nico - wonder if we post in tandem if it's more visible than a week apart?

    MinusTwo ~ Just saw your question. The post is only visible for 24 hours. I think maybe if we post at least a day apart, it's more visible.

    Just curious, but isn't this thread pinned to the top? Why "bump?"

    I don't ever see the thread unless it comes up on my favorites. Maybe it's the equipment you're using? I'll keep bumping.

    -2, if you select the Chemotherapy Section, this thread is "pinned" so it stays near the top. ThumbsUp

    Hi ladies! Just to clarify, besides being pinned to the top of the forum, if anybody bumps a thread with a new post, it shows up in the "Active Topics" again for 24 hours. That makes it more visible for everybody.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Mods. I've noticed that many new people only know how to look in the active threads when they start.

    That list is simply amazing! I have a friend who is going to go through chemo, what was the best gift you got (or wish) you had gotten? thanks!

    A gate keeper. One person to let everyone else know how she is doing & give regular updates so she won't have to make or receive 10+ calls. Someone to coordinate all the visitors & people who want to bring stuff. No need to have 3 people bring dinner the same night. And she likely won't feel like visitors every day. Wishing your friend the best.
