Feel feverish

[Nuttyshirlz]

Hi

All for about 5 days now every morning when I wake up. I feel feverish then by mid afternoon it seems to go away.

I’ve never had this before. At first I thought I must have picked up a bug or something but has it goes away mid afternoon. Does anyone else get it.

Thanks for your feedback

🙂

Hello Nutty, if you have RA the fevers are "normal", for the condition. It is a severe inflammatory reaction in multiple sites in your body so it often involves sweats and fatigue. Your body thinks it has an infection but is attacking your joints not a virus! When I started, I poured sweat, plus was very tired . Think of it as flu without the virus!! I hope this helps you understand the way that you feel?

[Hidden in reply to hawker955]

Yup...always feel like this.

What you've described is exactly what I experience from time to time getting sweats for no reason now I know feel much better. I've often felt I had an infection but hadn't.

Thank you

Hi pamelah

Yes it’s really weird to explain but I guess I will just have to go with it. But it’s like I can feel It without having it.

Thanks for your reply

Exactly!! Was diagnosed with Seropositive October 2016 told them my symptoms and that it wasn't the menopause having had a "ablation surgery" menopause was brought on prematurely 16 years ago ! Remember them saying my immune system thinks my body is a foreign object , not able to take much in at that time - But now all makes sense.

Thank you again

Have a wonderful day

I had hysterectomy when I was 21 so I went through my menopause in early 40s so I no it’s definitely not lol.

I don’t think we do take in what we told when we go home we always remember bits and pieces.

You also have pain free day

So true information on diagnosis goes over the head, so much to take in.

Thank you Shirlz

Yes shirlz, I get this too. Bodily aches and pressure in the face. Feels like I'm about to come down with flu but there's no coughing, sore throat or nose blowing. Much sympathy x

[Nuttyshirlz in reply to AnneField]

Thanks Anne

I’ve got flushed face too.

It's common to get fevers and feel like you have the flu. Sorry ❤️ you should call your rheumatologist and tell them because your medication might not be working. Although if I am tired, stressed, don't get enough sleep, ect, I can get a fever.

Hi

Thanks will email my nurse to let her know. So she is aware

Hi. I get this feeling but mine comes on in the afternoon and is usually gone when I wake up. I'm not diagnosed yet as all tests are coming back negative. I have pictures of swelling and redness, lifting fingers nails that could signify PSA instead but the despite all the the Rheumatologist has told me this unwell feeling isn't related. I'm confused as so many of you suffer with this in both RA and PSA.

[Nuttyshirlz in reply to Carrielei]

Hi Carrie

I had this at start but not has bad. Yes I’ve google it too and it’s part of the illness.

I’m sure they will pin point what you have once you get to see a rheumatologist doctor.

Do you have your appointment to see one.

[Nuttyshirlz]

Thanks for reply 🙂

I did but it went away so can't tell you why it happened. Might be as well to go to GP in case its type of bug.

[Nuttyshirlz in reply to medway-lady]

I’m at doctors on Friday so if it’s still on me il mention it to her. I did email my nurse but not holding out on her message me back as she don’t 🙂
