Another day, another ouchie?My bruised achilles tendon (don't ask) makes my foot numb. Wonky on meds, whacked it.Now, as to fibro:A lot of reports are going around some parts of social media that fibro (and dang near anything else) are caused by post-Covid, post-flu, post-vaccinations, post-pick-something.1. Your risk of death or serious complications beyond "ow, that shot hurt!" are typically...

Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job. It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it. Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown. There was a full length mirror in the changing room. I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like. It was a reality check.
Wish I could help, but... time for experts if it's consistent fever. Last time I had such, I turned out to have a very serious penumonia that doc had missed b/c I was "just looking for attention". (Yes. I was. Medical attention. OMG.)
Good luck.
But as caution, whenever any fever comes up, rule out the obvious that is listed here.

I normally also run in the upper 97s low 98s as my base, so when I reach 100, I start to feel pretty lousy. I took a tylenol and everything was back to normal again.
The best way I can explain it is, my body will pitch a fit if I do what I want sometimes. A fever is just one of the indicators to wave the white flag before a nasty flare comes on.
Other than that, this reminds of when I was growing up and suffered from mysterious fevers often. But mine would run kinda high back in those days. Docs never figured out what caused them. My tests always came back normal, all but one: sedimentary rate often came back high. Now that I have fibro, though, I wonder if there's a connection to all this.
Ur right u do feelcrappy even if its just a 100!
Thx !!
