Yes, experiencing fever-like symptoms, including fever breaking and feeling nauseous during RA flares is a recognized symptom pattern. Up to one-third of people with RA experience systemic (whole-body) symptoms during flares. These can include fever, sweating, and feeling generally unwell, as if coming down with an illness. While it can be scary to experience new symptoms after many years with RA, some members report varying symptoms during different flares. Some experience low-grade fevers that come and go, while others have reported stomach upset and bloating during flares. The duration and intensity of these symptoms can vary significantly from person to person and even between different flares in the same person. If you're experiencing new or concerning symptoms, it's always best to inform your rheumatologist. They can help determine if these symptoms are related to your RA and work with you to manage them effectively.
