Fever this morning... and a hair-cut

I slept in quite late this morning and when I woke I had a back ache and felt slightly chilled.
I'd missed taking my prednisone by about three hours. I checked my temperature and it was a very high 38.5C, 2 degrees higher than my normal figure.

I took a single panadol for the back ache along with my 30mg prednisone. I've been sweating ever since as my temperature slowly normalises. It's got me a little worried. Maybe 30mg is not enough, maybe it was dropped from 40mg too soon?

It's not like you can just go back up to 40mg as when it comes to steroids to need to start high with a sledge hammer blow and drop down from there. So I may need to go back to 60mg again and then back to 40mg till I see the doctor in late January.

It may be nothing.. I'll see what happens tomorrow morning and monitor my temperature during the day. I really don't want to find myself back with a 24/7 fever again.
In hindsight I have been a bit hot and sweaty in the mornings since Tuesday when I dropped the steroid dose. I just put it all down to over-doing it on Monday but perhaps it's dose related.

If you wonder why I'm sharing this, it's mainly so I have a record for the future.
Lets see what tomorrow brings..

Meanwhile Sarah and I decided it was time to cut my hair short again. It just hasn't recovered from all the chemo and the passing of time.. Time to face facts ...I'll never have long thick hair again. So it's now short and a bit thin on top.. Oh well.
