Do any of you have similar symptoms? I had bloods done about 8 weeks ago, which were fine, so I am reluctant to go back to the doctor. x
If I were you I'd be going to the doc anyway. It might just end up being allergies but better to be safe than sorry!
I can't remember if you're on Imuran/cyclo or not but my doc tells me that due to me being on immunosuppressants (sp?) I won't feel the effects of a cold/flu as much as others. Usually the fever/aches etc are a result of the immune system fighting the infection. Because my immune system is compromised, when I have the flu, I'll have a cough and maybe a heavy chest but nothing else. Could be something like that for you? Just a theory.
