I'm On Darzalex Faspro Once A Month, And Usually For About A Week After The Shot I Experience Back Pain And Fatigue.

After this last shot the pain and fatigue are allot worse. I've tested for covid, negative. Doesn't seem like the flu, I'm not sure what it is. Has anybody else experienced this.

Hi
I have been on Daralex Faspro for a while now . I find the Dexamethasone I receive as a premed gives me extra energy for 3 or 4 days . I do sleep as soon as I get home due to the benedryl I also get as a premed . But generally I feel pretty good for a week or 2 after treatment . Hope you feel better .
