I usually take my MTX on Mon. and have chills Tues. and Wed.. I haven't taken it yet and it's 72 degrees in my home and I am freezing when I get up and walk around. I took my temp thinking I may have a fever but it was 97.5. My normal temp is 98.7. I do have the ice cold feet thing going on. Anybody have this going on or have any feedback? I look forward to your replies. Thank you in advance. Hugs, Terri

I have them all the time. My house is set to 75 degrees. You could be anemic. I am. I think it's common for those with RA.

One of the symptom sof RA is chills and flu like symptoms. I tend to alternate between drenching sweating or chill and flu like symptoms. Between the two, I think the sweating is better. I have not noticed that when I takd my MTX makes any difference, but I believe it could. If you develop more than a slight increase i temp, I would go to the doctor because of being immune-compromised.

I'm not on MTX or Imuran and have such chills I don't want to drink cold water. That's weird for me, I use to want it the colder the better. I've had RA a long time n idk why this has recently started. I had thought it might be from the Humira ? Thx for posting ! ~b

I too get these chill's, Think this is just part of having R.A.,and like you my temp. is below normal. I sleep w/ only a sheet to cover w/. and set the a/c on 74 at night. When I have these chill feelings at times my face feels extra warm. Think this is just part of it. R.A. is no fun, thankful we all have each other. Because I only know one person personally that has R.A.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
