I have been using Aldara Cream for 4 weeks now and have the expected local reaction (redness, scaling, scabing, burning and itching). Last week for the first time I began to experience extreme fatigue, severe joint and muscle pain and continuous low back pain and some stomach queasiness with loss of appetite and night fevers.
I am being treated for basal cell cancer on my upper chest where over 30 bcc spots have surfaced and am applying the cream 3X per week - hopefully to avoid surgical removal of that many lesions. The regimen is supposed to continue for 8 weeks, but I am beginning to wonder if it would not be prudent to skip a few treatments to see if the flu like symptoms abate.
What have others experienced - i would apprecaite some feedback.
