"I am a 38-year-old female who was diagnosed with mouth, throat, and esophageal pemphigus vulgaris in November 2018. I was given prednisone almost immediately, and two shots of rituximab in January 2019. In January 2019, I was started on azathioprine at a dose of 150 mg. I was doing very well until November 2019... as of November, I’ve been getting these weird chills, especially in my back. Went to the ER twice-blood tests were run, and on both occasions, I was told the only problem is a high count of WBC in my urine-I don’t believe that is the cause of my chills. All I know is that they are driving me nuts. Can anyone relate?"
