asked my drs nurse practitioner about the fever and was told it is a part of RA and i can take Tylenol for it. I notice it more at night when i am in bed so i have started sleeping with a small fan blowing on my face. I tried a box fan and that was to much for me because if a get a chill i end up hurting worse so fan on my face has worked great and and slept thru the night and on the nights i feel more pain than usual i will take the tylenol pm but the tylenol pm does not work if i am not using my fan too
If our bodies are busy fighting our joints and organs, thinking they are instead an infection, it would make sense i think to run a fever.
yes that is part of RA too but if last call dr mine comes and goes like a mild hot flash
@A myRAteam Member I’ve been having chills for awhile now. I very rarely have a fever, just a chill. Sometimes it’s in the middle of the night. I hadn’t thought about it being a flair but I wake up a lot with low back and hip pain, then I feel like I’m cold and cover up more. I seem to be cold a lot lately and that’s strange for me. I hope you feel better.
I get fevers often. Especially at night with chills and sweats. Its how i know im defibatwly in a flare. However beware of infectiobs too.
