Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 Hi there Jenn!, Nice to meet you and welcome to the group! In answer to your question, I also get a fever and am absolutely EXHAUSTED when having a flare. Actually I have the fatigue often, even when I am not in pain. When having a flare my throat is not sore but feels weird when I swallow, kind of like there's a frog in it - like the " bones " are moving or something. I asked my Rheumatologist about it and she says it's normal with RA. I also take Prednisone and she says that can contribute to the fatigue, she's prescribed a potassium supplement, called Kaliemie (sp?), to counteract it, I can't tell you if it works as I haven't started taking them yet. Have a great day!
