    Hello.

    I just had my third Yervoy infusion yesterday. One the two hour drive home from the hospital, I started to notice some achiness in my thigh and leg area. That continued into today. I just took my temperature and I am running a low grade fever. Normal for me is 97.9 and it is 99.1. So, I'm guessing the achiness is related to the fever.

    Has anyone else experienced fever? I guess it's possible it isn't treatment related and I could be getting sick. I have not felt quite right for a few days now with sinus headaches and general fatigue. But, maybe this a good sign and it means my immune system is kicking in.

      Hi Angela,

      I have had some body aches myself, even after only two infusions, however my temperature is barely 97 degrees. I think it is good that you have a low grade fever. My sister said she saw an article that correlates low normal body temperature with increased cancer risk, but she cannot locate it again.

      I also had slightly lower temp. Some chills and aches. All these went away. After two infus. my biggest annoyance is ear buzzing. Went to ENT, had hearing test and brain MRI. All came out perfect. Now I have heard from 2 others that chemo can lead to ear buzzing. My encol. wasnt aware of this effect with IPI. good luck to you
