I suppose it was a wacky allergic reaction last night.

Because, I'm "fine" now.  I took a dose and a half of Tylenol PM which contains anti-histamines, and I finally went to sleep and stopped shivering.

If that were a viral sort of sickness, I think I'd still feel sick right now.  So, I'm blaming the iron.  If you remember my first go-round with the iron infusions, I was allergic to them.  The first drug most doctors try is called Dextran, and that caused me to break out into instant hives, and they had to stop it's infusion immediately.  The medication I have been receiving since, is Ferrlicit.  Most infusions, I only get a little "achy" in my joints, which I thought was just a little bit of a side effect.  Last nights' shivering and aching and hellish reaction is not my idea of fun.  I'm only scheduled to get these infusions once a month for now - but I do plan on making a note of this reaction with the hematologist, because it seemed too intense.

It doesn't make sense why I'd react differently this time - though it's been a few months in between infusions.

My body is just rebelling, in many ways.
