Wellw e're two days into the new season (autumn in the Northern, spring in the Southern). And finally, it feels like it might stay! No, wait, 80s F again. Ugh. Oh well.***In 1869, Wall Street did one of its first spectacular crashes, after the ever-unscrupulous and a-holish Jay Gould and James Fisk decided to corner gold. Since we were not yet back on the gold standard after our little unCivil...

Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it. Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
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 !!
