Last year, I DO remember reading in a medical text, that people w/d ing are often prone to respiratory infection.  If I can find the text tomorrow, I'll type it out here.

I agree with avisg -- wait and see what the doctor tells you about it, and good luck to you! Congrats on three weeks!

Vicodin along with other narcotic medications lower your immune system once they're stopped abruptly. You're more apt to getting sick once you've stopped taking them -- but you didn't mention if you're on them still or have stopped taking them. Either way, it sounds like you're merely sick with a common something or other...  :)

No - - the closest that you could come to linking the two would be that excessive use usually leads to poor nutrition.....and sometimes liver and kidney functions ...... all of these things can open the door for opportunistic infections - - - but the vicodin would not be the cause of an infection.
