I'm due to go in for IVIG tomorrow and Sunday. Yesterday my HGB was 89 with WBC 1.3 and ANC 0.7 - these are typical WBC counts for me.
I've been feeling a bit off all week and last night came down with a fever. Couldn't sleep, managed to get about 3 - 4 hours. Still have an appetite, fever was gone when I woke up at 4am. This afternoon it is back. Same as last night. It is low grade, running at 37.5C = 99.5F.
I'm going to go to my appointment tomorrow and see what they say. Can I still get IVIG with a low grade fever? I may not have a fever by tomorrow. How worried should I be? I figure at least if I go there and it's a problem - I'll be in the hospital and they will be able to call the hematologist.
If I can't get the treatment tomorrow, I will be delayed 2 weeks because I'll need another transfusion.
