Side Effects and Fever - Saturday, September 26, 2009

Saturday, I awoke with muscle aches but my temperature was normal. The naturopath advised me to take it easy this weekend and to wait until 24 hours after the fever broke in order to re-join the human race. She believed the muscle aches were a combination of the side-effects of Taxotere and the remains of the virus I had apparently contracted. I was determined not to let the symptoms stop me from cleaning my apartment so, in spite of the pain which made it difficult to stand, I cleaned my apartment, did laundry, and ironed my clothes. Then I rested. However, by nightfall the temperature returned to 99.6 degrees, which was discouraging.
