Navigating a Head Cold on Maintenance?
AI-generated title
Stem cell, Auto. May 2024. Presently on Darzalex FasPro and 10mg. Revlimid three weeks on, one off. Came down with a bad head cold on Saturday, last. I ate out with a girlfriend. First time in public without wearing a face mask. The restaurant was packed with people. Wearing a face mask does make a huge difference. Although I could not wear a face mask while eating my meal, so there you go. I took Tylenol last night for fever 101.6. No fever this morning. Resting pulse is 54, and I am literally freezing. I took a Covid test. It was negative. Should I take another? This feels and acts like a nasty rhinovirus. I just finished 6 months of IVIG transfusions to build up my immune system. Wondering if this virus is going to be a test on how well my immune system is working. If the symptoms are a judge then my immune system is very angry at this invasion and is responding as it should. I have less than 5 IGA, my IGG is 750, and the last number is very low. (IGM) The doctors tell me that you can get by with just IGG, although seasonal allergies are the worst this year. (IGA controls sinuses) But, everyone I talk to is saying the same thing. Has anyone else had a head cold while on chemo?
