I think something is wrong with my body temperature because I have literally never had a fever as an adult. I swear I FEEL like I have a fever when my temp is 99 degrees, and when I take my temp at normal (non-sick days) it is about 96 degrees, but my doctor just tells me that 99 degrees is not a fever.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the printed material with the target thermometer says anything about 99.5 is defined as a fever.
I did not know it was possible to feel like ass warmed over and not have a fever.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think fever is required for flu.
Work has been going at breakneck speed and I am convinced I am missing things. I hope today to go through pile of notes.

Well, if normal body temperature is 98.6, and anything over 99.5 is a fever, than 1 degree is a fever. Therefore if my temperature is 99 degrees and my normal temperature is 96 degrees, don't I have the equivalent of a 101.6 degree fever?

Flu also tends to have that achy-tired feeling. Colds may make you feel miserable, but for me at least they don't make me feel physically weaker.

Because books.
I'm the same way, Sophia. My healthy temp is usually 97.4, so if I have a temp of over 99, I usually consider it a fever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
normal body temperature is 98.6
This is more or less a myth. (At best, it's an average number which may or may not have any relevance to any individual's "normal" body temperature.)
I know for kids, 100.4 is the official cutoff for fever, but you're not supposed to worry unless sustained for more than 2-3 days.

My mom had the same procedure done a couple of years ago to remove cataracts, and she was amazed at how good her vision was afterward.
Yep, that's part of why I was willing to do this--not many people have bad enough vision to have it done, but since its basically what they do for cataract surgery without removing a cataract first, it's been done a lot when you look at it that way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Well, if normal body temperature is 98.6, and anything over 99.5 is a fever, than 1 degree is a fever. Therefore if my temperature is 99 degrees and my normal temperature is 96 degrees, don't I have the equivalent of a 101.6 degree fever?
Yeah, three degrees over your normal sounds like a fever to me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The guy over the wall is eating the most garlicious thing ever. Like, it's interfering with my apple (which is also extremely bland--I can't work out if it's the varieties at Ralphs, even organic, or just Ralphs, but I'm over the Red Delicious now).
Since I eat garlic fries at my desk every Monday, I know I don't have a leg to stand on, but that doesn't mean I'm going to keep my mouth shut. So to speak.
