You did not mention if you are taking Neupogen. That can also cause joint pain.

My doc thinks the joint pain and stiffness is from the cyclo. I did take neupogen but have been off it for about a month or so. I get the headaches too from cyclo. I'm not tapering off yet so this is just something I'll deal with. No biggie really in the BIG scheme of things!
Thanks for the reply.
