I hope you’re doing well. ❤️
I had an episode of severe chills around 5am on September 3rd that lasted an hour or two, it was severe. The worst episode of chills I’ve ever had, I couldn’t even get up to get some Tylenol.
The chills started about 2 hours after I flushed the port in my right arm [which is 2 years old?] after not flushing it for a week, and I dosed myself with Invanz. This could be a coincidence.
I’ve had a very bad cough the last couple of days, and I’ve been nauseous. The two days leading up before the chills, I was vomiting at night.
I haven’t had an episode of chills since the September 3rd at 5am episode, and I haven’t flushed my port either.
I’m going to start keep track of every time I flush or use my port for Invanz and my symptoms, even though I’m not convinced there’s a connection, Noah mentions it.
I’m really not sure what’s going on, I feel awful. I’ve had autoimmune problems for years and my CRP has been normal. Why do elevated now?
I’m trying to lay low and rest a lot, it seems I get a little bit better then I get sick again, but this the worst. My cough isn’t as bad today, but it was really bad yesterday after my episode of chills.
Thanks again for everything. I have a phone appointment scheduled on the September 10th. ❤️
If there is any special bloodwork I should do next week, please let me know, otherwise I’d do the usual again in a few days, CRP, Sed Rate (which also shot to 70, but it hasn’t been normal in weeks), CBC and Chem Panel.
I will contribute to rest and try to keep my stomach still. I’ve been living on a lot of popsicles and Gatorade the last few weeks 🤪🤢.
I hope you’re doing ok. I miss you.
Warmly,
Tara
