For me fever is anything over 98 and BOY do I notice it. Cramps bump me up to 99 F and I feel like I'm in a steamroom. Bleah.
With a low-grade fever, the palms of my hands and soles of my feet feel unbearably hot. Once I go above 99.5, that disappears, but I get shaky and feeble, I have no energy, and I usually alternate between feeling too cold and too hot.
Everybody's gone to bed already, Perkins.
Smart people. I should have, but instead I am watching bad TV.
I'm not asleep. I'm kind of bored, and wondering what I should do for dinner. Hi, Perkins!
When I get a fever, my bones feel a little bit fragile, and my skin feels prickly, and like my body doesn't fit together like it should. Sometimes there's the hot and cold thing, and usually there's a need for sleep. Also, I apparently look really pretty when I'm feverish, since I almost always get several compliments. Which is, you know, kind of sad.
I know you're all waiting for this update: the cat jumped off the cage and proceeded to hop on the ottoman, draping herself across my ankle.
I am the lamest of them all. Fear me. Or not. At least the four of you are on the West Coast. I've moved from bad TV to infomercials. I know, now you're
really
jealous.
Hi Alibelle! eta (and Eddie, and MFNlaw!)
Also, I apparently look really pretty when I'm feverish, since I almost always get several compliments.
Well, sure. I always say, nothing says sexy to me quite as strongly as contagiousness does.
t waves to Perkins, Alibelle and Eddie

Until you compare it to ringworm. Then all bets are off.
I have to say I fear the power of the Natter. This conversation about fevers has its roots in ita's unfortunate post this morning about fainting ita "What Happens in Natter 35 Stays in Natter 35" May 6, 2005 6:15:53 am PDT nearly 18 hours ago!
I think that might be the power of ita, but I could be wrong.
