We talked about this about two weeks ago or so...lol we all have found out or

the majority of us have found out that we run a low grade fever..and with

most of us our " normal " body temp is lower than what docs call normal and

when we do get a fever of 99 -100 degree's we're all really sick...deathly

ill...So you aren't alone babes...we have fevers.

Now on fever blisters I too get these constantly...especially on the inside

of my lips and cheeks...they are horrible....I can barely eat at times..I

just gargle with warm salt water and they usually go away within a day or so,

but like I said its a reoccuring thing for me...I also take Lysine to help

with my mouth sores....

You're not alone and I'm think'n about ya...

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia last November. I seem to have

all of the usual complaints. In fact my Rheumatologist said i

was a walking poster child for Fibro. The thing that bothers me

most though is something i don't usually see anyone else

complaining of and that is the fevers that i get. Whenever my

symptoms flare up, I can usually tell it is coming because the

first thing I feel is a mild fever coming on. I feel like I am

getting the flu or something and have a fever, usually no more

than a degree or two above normal, just enough to make me feel

like crap. Then I get the usual pains and also get a lot of

mouth sores, to the point that sometimes I can barely stand to

speak because it hurts so much. Am I unusual in this or are both

of these problems that everyone else is having also? I feel like

a mutant sometimes.

I frequently have mouth sores. I talked to my doctor about them who

first suggested stress or nutrition, but finally gave me some

prescription medicine for them. It tastes nasty and you're suppose to

apply it before bed which doesn't help during the day. I usually use a

lanicane medicine from the store for mouth sores. I've heard taking

1000 mg of folic acid, but can't find it in that dose. I take 800 mg

which I noticed does help to cut down on the level of pain. I've also

heard rinsing your mouth out with an anti acid like Malox will work, but

think that tastes nasty too, so haven't tried it.
