9th Week - Do the fevers ever go away?

A pattern has developed and I'm just wondering if any of you have experienced fevers throughout tx.  Usually, by Tuesday after taking shot on Friday I'm running a fever of about 99.6 - 99.8.  Just enough to make me feel like ****.  Fever goes away by Thursday usually but I've had low grades all weekend sometimes as well.  This hasn't stopped and I thought the fevers generally subsided after about a month.  Anybody experience this too?  I think my body is protesting and I can't say as I blame it but I sure would like some relief soon!!!!

Trin,

Are you taking tylenol with your shot?  

I never had the fevers in the beginning but got them on and off later on. Unfortunately, everybody is different - well I guess that's good because it will give you hope that yours will go away.  Sides come and go and change throughout generally so hopefully - yours will too.

Thanks for the good thoughts, I am feeling almost back to normal for about a week & a half.  The only thing is that I seem to require a lot of sleep.  9 to 10 hours at night and a nap around 5 or 6 in the evening, maybe an hour or 2.  I guess I need it but I never used to.  

I never could figure out how my body was gonna react so I gave up trying and just went with the flow.  Every week it was something slightly different.  I sleep better now than I did then.

Just keep up letting yourself rest when you need it and try to eat healthy, you can do this!!!

I am on infergen and  have had a fever the whole time,  I inject daily so I added it up to that. Mine were averaging about  99 to 101.

This weekend I went to ER and had to be hydrated it had spiked so high.  They are part of the sides,  and trinity is right don't over due, LOADS of fluids,  

Hang in there it will get better

Thanks for sharing.  GSDgirls hope you are feeling well and getting back to a more normal life.  Grandma, if you can do it so can I!!  
I just had to go to bed last night, didn't cook, didn't eat much.  Woke up about 3 and sweating awful.  Today I feel ok, not great.  You just never know how you're going to feel.  I have noticed one thing and believe this to be very important.  If I let myself become overly tired or try to do too much I suffer more which might have somethning to do with the fevers.  I'm finally figuring out how my body reacts and when I'm tired I just got to give it up.  I work everyday and lately that's about as much as I can do until I've rested.  Got get ready for work - thanks

I have the same pattern.  I also do the Tuesday shot & feel lousy until i start perking up on Thurs.  Hate to tell you, I am in week 48 w/24 more to go and I have to just live with the fever and am very happy when they go to normal.  Even our fever readings are the same!

You have about the same pattern that I had.  My sides were very unpredictable and the lowgrade fevers were always there it seemed like.  Sorry, I KNOW THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU WANTED TO HEAR, oops, I didn't mean to shout, caps got stuck on.
