second week post second treatment side effects

I had my second treatment with A/C two weeks ago and just like after my first treatment at the two week post treatment mark I am loaded with side effects. My onc nurse tells me this is when I would feel my worst because this is when my white count would be the lowest. I have a low grade fever of no higher than 100.4, a raised red rash only on my upper chest area, conjunctivitis in one eye so far, a burning tongue and throat, extreme fatigue and sleeping a lot more during the day and still sleeping at night. Has anyone else had these symptoms at the post treatment 2 week mark? I have a rinse for my tongue and throat to make eating easier and an antibiotic ointment for the conjunctivitis and tylenol for fever. This is the worst I have felt. Every move is such an effort and until now I have been very active. I have had to miss many outings this week from baseball games, to a fund raiser in memoriam to a friend who died from breast cancer and the list goes on. I know this will pass just in time for my 3rd treatment next Thursday and I am trying to tough it out and remain my old positive self because I know this is just temporary but it is discouraging when you aren't feeling well. Then again, I remind myself of so many on this forum with far worse problems facing them so I will take this gladly. Thanks for listening and sorry for complaining.
