Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I've noticed that since I've been 'sick' (10 years now) I often run low fevers. My normal body temp now is 97.4 - 97.6 somewhere. The temp will run just a couple of degrees higher, occasionally running slightly over 100. What is that all about?

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Most of us have low body temp. It is noticed by specialists and even listed as part of diagnosis and common things to these diseases. If you have a low body temp, you are going to have lower grade fevers. If you had a normal body temp, obviosly you have 'higher' fevers - but its relative to the body temp. It doesnt mean its any higher than yours its just the number in relation to body temp. I dont they know why we have lower temps yet, its one of those things about us I guess. Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 All I know out of 10 years, that these fevers are not my usual fevers. So there's something wrong. But, maybe it's something to do with the illness right now. When I go Friday, hopefully the Hematologis will know some answers. Out of 10 years, I usually will get fevers but once I sit down and wait it out, then the fevers go away after a little bit. This is ver unusual that they have stayed since Saturday. The temps can go up to 100.8. Lou Most of us have low body temp. It is noticed by specialists and even listed as part of diagnosis and common things to these diseases.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The fevers just subsided today so I feel ack to normal. I know with some diseases it's normal when a person goes through a flare that the fevers can last for weeks. So I think that's what was happening with me.

There has been a few instances where I am not sure which post someone is replying to, so it is good to leave at least a bit of the post you are responding to. But I agree about deleting most of the posts, you don't want to scroll through the one before, and the one before that! Gets very messy. take care, ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi Jane: When your fevers are around 100, how long do they last? Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
