I started freezing halfway into dialysis treatment today, so took temp, it was up 3 degrees so Charge Nurse covered me more, called Dr who told her to draw cultures so that was done and since those take time he told her to give me antibiotics in my veinous line at the end of D and then I had to sit for 30 min to make sure no reactions.   If the wheels had not been locked I think the chair would have gone across the room.  No reactions after 30 min so I got to go home, turned on the electric blanket and crawled in.  Slept an hour and woke up with a sore throat, headache and generally feeling like  :puke;  and that was it for sleep.  If I can't fall asleep in a few hours I will break down and take something and see how it goes.  Must have been a fast hit something.  I just want to curl up in a ball somewhere.    :puke;

if you have fever - why would the nurse give you more blankets

we freeze in our unit so the techs do not get too hot because they have to wear those yellow jackets or cover ups -
during two treatment I almost asked to get off early ----I was freezing---- shaking with cold

I hope you are better - seems like there is a bug going around in our unit
curl up in a ball and sleep

Sounds like a nasty cold or maybe even the flu. You are probably doing exactly the right things:  Getting plenty of rest and treating the symptoms. 

I hope you are feeling better soon!   :)

Are you allowed to take aspirin or advil?  I find it helps my throat feel less sore.

Well, I think """it's"""" on its way out.  I just woke myself up choking and choking so got up to clear my throat, take tylenol...can't take anything else and I'll catch up on IHD then go back to bed.  Thank you so much for all you wishes.  I believe they are what helped me most. Please give King Leon a hug for me, I'm sure that will help immensely.   :bow;
