Yes, and I've never been able to tell whether NSAID's help or not, so I just live with it, taking off and putting on clothes as necessary. Layers. Keep an extra sweater or jacket at work, in the car, etc. Drink lots of water.

I think that's too high to be considered a low grade fever. Do you get any rashes that come and go?

No rash. This is the highest one I have had so far. They used to just happen randomly. They started after I had my appendix out. Then more frequently after I had my gallbladder out almost 2 years ago. but for the past 3 months it has been almost daily. I had no fever last week while others 20mg prednisone but the fever returned yesterday. They don't last all day. Normally they run 99 to100.3. The first time I talked to the Dr about it a year ago she said it was my bodies reaction to my bad allergies. At that time we brought home my mom's 2 dogs. We already had one. Allergies are under control with meds. Then all this RA stuff started and hit me fast at the same time thever fevers became daily.

Hi jen,

Our body temperature fluctuates during the day, being at the highest in the afternoon. Anything over 100 is considered elevated. I always run hot in the 99 - 100 range. All kind of things can make us "hot" - outside temps, smoking, lying, eating hot peppers, hot flashes.

If your temp is 101.9 then you have a fever and should call your doctor.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks! My normal is about 98.2 to 98.4. Anything around 98.9 or above and I feel crappy. Especially when it gets to 99 range. When ir rises I always feel it in my eyes and get an over all "sick feeling" ( for lack of better way to describe it) that is what makes me think ok time to check the temperature. Dr said to keep charting my temps when I feel one come on. This morning I felt it again around 10am it's lower only 99.1.
