UPDATE re CIMZIA & Infection

So did ring, gp called back & I saw her at 11.15 .

Took all my vitals and as I had taken paracetamol

temp was normal despite feeling super rubbish ( It was 39.8 !!!!! in the morning before I took paracetamol. . 😢

So the plan if there is one , is a fever normally lasts 7 days but if I am still getting high temp with or without paracetomol Sat Sun to let the doctor know and they will look at it again 😬

My GP is due to ring me Mon .

I think that is wait and see .

Do not think you can call it a result - if it is viral I am assuming it just takes longer to recover .

Happy days .

Temp is currently 38.6 so going to pop more 😂!

Good that they took notice, so that is a sort of result. If you feel more rubbish than currently don't feel you have to wait until Sat but contact GP again. However hope the virus or bacteria crawls off to where it came from and leave so you in peace

Hi Mahgs thanks for the update.. I hope you’re feeling a bit better today and the infection clears off but if you do get any worse be sure to contact GP before the weekend xxxx Sarah

Thank you all for the advice - I think however I cannot contact them before Mon . I am not a woos ( what does that mean , hope it is not rude !😬) but I know they will say there is already a phone call in place . Already spoken to them twice this week -eek . 😳🙄

Think I have to hang on in there till Monday so another weekend down the pan .

First time ever thought roll on Monday ! 😂
