Still got a fever? I do!

Posted , 4 users are following.

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks positive. In truth I've probably been sick like 2 1/2 weeks already. The fever started about 2 days after nasal stuffiness and 2 or 3 days before getting a positive result. I'm still running a low grade temp every day. My normal is around 97.7 or so. I start feeling it about 98.4. I've been over 99 the past several days. Still getting very fatigued with the least activity. How long is this gonna last? Anyone that can share similar stories would be appreciated.

    Hi Robyn. OMG girl, I hope you see this and respond as you sound like me to the "T". I am day 16. Started out the day after Thanksgiving with body aches, then the low grade fever, burning eyes, headaches. My nose was either filled up like concrete or running like a faucet with sneezing.

    Doctor put me on 2 weeks of antibiotics (on day 5) and no help.

    My normal temperature is mind 97's like yours so when I hit the 98's, I feel it. Everyone thinks I am nuts because good ole Google and doctors for 100's of years set the standard of a normal temperature at 98.6 and they are now saying that is not true (much lower).

    I feel fine in the morning then within hours that pesky fever comes back, burning eyes, somedays head-ache and it goes back down at night.

    How long did your fever last and I hope you are better by now! Let me know darlin!
