What is considered to be a low grade fever? Or a "normal" temperature. Sometimes my face will feel hot and I will feel feverish along with a little start out of a butterfly rash.. And then I check my temp and it seems "normal".
Just curious what everyone thinks.

I run around 97.5. When I get to 99 I can tell. It might not be "official" but it is a low grade fever for me.

I read that clinically the fever of 101 but a person with lupus should check every six hours until they know what their normal is and if you develope a fever of 101 call your doctor!

As a nurse, I can tell you that a person does NOT clinically have a fever until the temperature is 101 degrees F. Anything below that is not a fever.

I was just going to ask this same question, and now ive seen others asking the same thing. My body is extremely hot and im sweating profusely. My face is pale except butterfly rash. I feel very weak and exhausted. However, i have no temperature when i take it. The last time i had this i tested positive for a flare-up, my #s were very high. Does anyone else experience this with 🔥🔥🔥
