Re: Fevers in flare up areas?

[Guest guest]

Hi April,

I spent most of yesterday on the couch with one of those fever/achy

flares, and I don't have RA (I have Dercum's.) My joints felt like

they were grinding on each other. My normal temp, like yours, is

around 96-97. My doc knows when it's 98 and above, I'm sick! They

even have it noted on my hospital records now! I hate that achy,

about-to-get-the-flu feeling. I drank gallons of green tea

yesterday, read " Skipping Christmas " , listened to CD's, cuddled with

the cat, and generally just felt like I needed a day off. We even

had carry-in Chinese and ate by the fire last night. Today is

better, but this cold, cloudy, damp weather doesn't help, and they

are predicting heavy rain changing to snow here in central Indiana.

Take care, baby yourself, and don't feel guilty!
