THC, low grade fever
Has anyone experienced an occurrance of a low grade fever as a side effect of THC? I had for a few hrs one night, about a wk after my tx. I was very tired, no appetite, and felt chilly. My fever went up to 100.2. Went to sleep for about 11 hrs and the next day I was fine. Strange...

Harrie, I would say more then likely yes...it would and could cause that. With my first two treatments of TCH I would get a little chilly at times and off and on had a low grade fever. I was so afraid of getting a high fever since I was warned it could happen. So I kept a close eye on my temp. But every time I felt hot I would check and find out it was always a low grade fever thank goodness. With the herceptin feeling tired and chilly is quite common too. I think in time you will see some changes as your body tries to adjust to it. Hang in there...sounds like your doing great all things considered.
