Claritin worked!
Well, the Claritin worked better than I ever could have hoped. It's like I didn't even get the shot, you'd never know, there are no side effects at all this time.
However, the nurses insisted on calling the doc to report how nasty the little "sore" on my rib cage looked compared to how it looked last Tuesday and he said go to the ER to have it evaluated in light of ANC of 0.1. So I spent 3 hours there getting the "abcess" lanced, drained & packed. Doc said there was hardly any pus -- because you need neutrophils to have pus. I feel so grateful I had no bone pain while going through that!
Do wish the doctor or nurses had told me about Claritin sooner, though. Don't understand why they wouldn't.
