Fever

[Mary]

Ok so I am taking my temperature as we speak and it is 99.0 does this mean I am in a flare?

High temp could mean many things, but deffinately keep an eye on it, and other symptoms you have as well. I'm hoping it's not a flare for you though!

99.0 isn't really considered elevated...usually 100.5 is where you are considered feverish. Are you having any other inflammatory symptoms like achiness?

Being in a flare is sort of a confluence of symptoms - no one thing necessarily means you are "in a flare". I believe that if you do have Crohn's it sounds at least like you are in a flare. Mary - can you refresh my memory - what exactly are your total symptoms? I'm not sure if you have ever posted all of them. And do they have you on any medications at this point for the symptoms?
