Perjeta herceptin taxotere neulasta

Good Morning, I started Chemo Thursday the 13th. I felt great that day and the following day, but 48 hours after I felt like I was done! I feel pins and needles in all my skin even my face and head, my body is just so sore. As anyone else felt this and if so how long does it last, please tell me it gets better.

I had first chemo on Feb 12th, Perjeta, herceptin, taxotere. I went in with a cold and low WBCC so got neulasta too. the NP told me to take Claritin 12 hr before getting the neulasta shot and for about 3 days after. I did that plus taking tylenol.  I don't know if it helped or not since I have a cold anyway so the flu side effects and cold got mixed up but I will say I haven't felt too terrible. I did crash about 48 hrs after chemo but by the next day I was much better, at least part of the day. 5 days later I seem to swing from being able to move fairly normally and then crashing. My hips and sacrum hurt since yesterday and have a headache but otherwise okay. I force myself to lie down and try to sleep or read or watch something. I'm hoping the later doses won't be so bad as they gave me double doses of Herceptin and Perjeta as loading doses. Everyday is a different day of symptoms it seems. I have animals so I make myself get outside with them everyday.
