Flu/like symptoms with Doxil (aching)

Has anyone had the flu like symptoms on Doxil? I just started taking it Friday. Sat. was great and I have been in bed since Sunday with aches and pains. Tylenol helps somewhat, but I am calling the Dr. tomorrow for a little something else. I had this reaction to Carbo/Taxol, but do not see this side effect in the Daxol web sight. I am just hoping it is temporary as was the Carbo/Taxol pain the first week. Does anyone else take any pain meds that are lightweight? I don't won't addiction or to be loopy?

I was on Doxil for six months,ending three months ago. I've had every symptom imaginable while on it. I still am experiencing fatigue, occasional nausea and am losing some of my hair.  I would think your flu like symtoms (symptoms) could be caused by the Doxil.
You might find as I found, that the symptoms are constantly coming and going while on Doxil.
Best wishes for the chemo to be successful!
