Vancouver,
How long has it been since the surgery noguts? Depending on that, if I were you I'd think about calling my medical team! Sending you lots of hugs!!!

It's a week now. Low grade fever at night only. During the day totally normal. It was like that before surgery though for 2 months.
 
I think a low grade fever is pretty common for us Crohnies. I'm usually over 99.5 in the evening, it's just my normal. You could give them a heads up though, but mention it's not new.
 
Two months is a long time, maybe you should talk to someone. Fever can be your body fighting off inflammation. I seem to get low grade fevers when I'm flaring. Do you have a nurse or nurse practitioner you can call?
