Actually, I haven't been on Exjade lately, as we stopped in when I was having my GI issues....but I don't think that was the problem anyway.
The funny thing is, the fever doesn't make me feel "feverish"--it just goes up at night, and causes night sweats. Other than feeling tired, I'm symptom free!
For some reason, I think it is "part of the process"
Neupogen totally stopped working on me--I took it for a week straight and never got over .5
Wondering if Neulasta may be an option, will find out today....
