Fevers

[lookame]

Alright so the past few days I've been feeling sort of cruddy. There's a dull achy pain in my left side which I'm familiar with(I dealt with it when I flared the first time...I think it's inflammation) and the past few days I've felt chilly but didn't think much of it. Today my appatite has gone down and I got a little naucious so I checked my temp and it's a low grade tempurate of 99.3. I think my body is telling me I have swelling again but being on 50mg of 6mp(I'm a moderate metabolizer of it and I', 5'2" and weigh 100lbs) I figure that the killing of my white cells would prevent this. I'm a tad worried and I'm not quite sure what to do(well I know I need to call my doc but he won't be in the office again till Tues..)

Are fevers "bad" with crohns?

 

[outlier]

I have had low fevers 99.5-100.5 when I have a flare. I get fevers very easily in life. Which meant i was feverish for nearly 6 months. It broke when I started humira and methotrexate.
I sort of would hide the fevers because i figured they were bad. but i think they are sort of normal, was my imprestion. I belive they were why i felt so bad while i was flaring.
Good luck!

I think they are normal. My GI didn't seem to worry about it last time I saw him. The nausea I am not sure. I am going through the same thing right now, chills, fever, absolute cruddy, flu-y type symptoms. Sucks. I haven't really had an appetite for four days now. I force myself to eat. But hopefullly that's all normal.
Good luck
