Low grade fever

deleted_user
deleted_user
I have had a low grade fever for what seems like forever! I thought it was due to Rebif but I am off of that now and it's still there. My neuro sent me for a test to see if I might have a bladder infection (even though I didn't think I did). Nope, test came back and I don't have one. But, they won't let me start Tysabri unless this fever is gone before it comes in. My body temp is usually in the high 97 range. So, 98.6 for me is a fever. I've been ranging 99.6-100. I can't get in to my primary doc until tomorrow. Ugh!

Sorry to hear you are going through a tough time! I hope you get better soon and can start your treatment.

I've been ranging in the 96s-97s too and when they say I'm 99, I have a temperature, I say NO, I have a fever! As far as the fever, my liver tests where out of whack while I was on Rebif and I had 'fever'. It took nearly a month to get under control enough that the fever was gone. I don't really know what else to tell you other than time when you don't have it. ~hugs~

Thanks for your posts. That is interesting. My liver counts were elevated the whole time I was on Rebif but never enough that they took me off of it because of them. I found that if I drank a lot water the counts were lower than usual. That was wierd. But hmmm... I wonder if it's still a reaction to Rebif since this is only the 3rd week off of it. The doc's nurse said no - it shouldn't be. But ????

I don't know Larry. But mine has always been in the mid 97 range my whole life and my mothers was also. It's still 99.6 today. The doc took blood yesterday to see if he can see anything there.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
