Day 9 and low grade fever. Is this normal?

Not sure if the fever is withdrawal or I have picked up a cold because my nose is all stuffed up as well.  Other than that I'm feeling pretty good.  5 years on 90mg of oxy a day and to have such a quick recovery makes me feel very blessed.  Even my back pain is tolerable today.  I realize I will have up and down days for a long time but I'm taking these good days and saying thanks!  Thanks also to everyone who encouraged and carried me through the hard days.  Let me know what you think about these cold symptoms if you have a minute.  Have a great day everyone!

Ya it sounds like you've just picked up a bug if you're on day 9. I remember days 1-4 being soaked in sweat and freezing from all the crap coming outa my system. But by day 9 it sounds like you're just getting ill. Hang in there,lots of fluids,soup broth and baths/showers. Hope it's just a 24 hour bug or something :(

Well, I'm not sure now because my fever has risen and my husband is also getting sick, so it seems I have picked up a bug.  Couldn't think of a worse time to get sick!  Arg

Good to know!  I'm drinking down a bunch of emergenc immune plus to try and get stronger.  Going to purchase a cleanse today at the health food store.  Gotta get this crap out of me.  Agreed on the allergies.  Ragweed is the devil.  Won't be around next for much longer.  It's only 5 degrees Celsius here in Ontario!
