I have had SFN for many years. Noticed recently that when my SFN really flairs up I also have a fever of 100.2 - 100.4. Anyone else getting this?
Any ideas?

Told my doctor this and he said a fever of 100.2 is not really a fever and that was the end of it. My normal temperature has always run around 98.2, not 98.8.

The 2 go hand in hand. I don't know if the pain flair up causes the fever or the fever causes the pain.

Do you get your full blood count taken regularly plus ESR/PV and CRP and autoantibodies? Many rheumatic/ connective tissue diseases cause low level fevers and sweats as part of the disease process. I'm Hypothyroid so my temperature starts very low and, like you, a raised temperature for others can be a fever for me.
