fever... still
Ok, so it was Monday that I upped my dose of Imuran and had the chills and fever that night... Tuesday I had a headache but didn't feel too bad, until that night I got a fever again. Yesterday I slept all day, and didn't take the Imuran (both my GI specialist and family doctor weren't in the office, so a pharmacist I know suggested not taking it.) At this point I thought it still could be a bug, since a lot of people are sick, but I felt MUCH better not taking it. Then he called back and suggested I try two (instead of three pills) so I took them before bed. Sure enough I didn't sleep at all, and around 5:30 this morning I got really bad chills again, and a fever which is starting to subside but I've still got a headache. (Plus I have a lot of muscle pain, especially with the chills, and fever blisters in my mouth - but no other signs of a bug. Weirdly enough my stomach has been calm this whole time, mind you i haven't eaten much, but still its my first week in awhile without any stomach pain, go figure!)
This is becoming a long story, but I have a specialist appt tomorrow morning, and what I want to ask (the secretary didn't really know, unfortunately) is can I not take the Imuran today? Then I'll know for sure if its the problem, and I would really rather not... I just know for other drugs its not safe to just stop, so I was wondering if anyone knows if it is safe to not take it today?
Thanks
