I get intermittent fevers, but almost always with a cause. I run low -- 97.3 degrees is my "normal" temperature, and if I'm running a 99 degree fever, that's significant for me. Sometimes the fever and an increase in spasticity are the only symptoms of infection I have.

I'm not sure what you mean about the fevers ruining tests that need to be done. What specific tests? For MS or something else?

Ooops. I've had to go for phlebotomies and other testing and they wouldn't do them because of the fever.
