About a month ago I developed some symptoms associated with SS (dryness, etc)...

I'm scheduled to see a rheum soon & possibly get some answers. Meanwhile, I started 

having temp spikes to about 99.3 every afternoon/ evening, although the day always begins around 98. I've read lots of the posts here but not much said about temp spikes so I'm wondering who else goes thru this & what is the duration (weeks, months, etc).

I am 60 y.o male

    Ron, everyone on earth's temps vary throughout the day on a pretty regular, personal schedule and that's most likely what you are seeing. Late afternoon/early evening is a common time for spikes.

    Might still mean something tho I don't know what.
