ugh, i think my systemic part

of "systemic JRA"is back
ugh
 
i felt hot
so my dad checked
i got a fever of 99.4, so slight fever
 
i took some tylenol to help me sleep
 
ugh, i hated havin fevers
they suck
 
this reminds me of what it was like before...
Star,
 
Please do not take tylenol until you talk to your rheumatologist.  MTX and tylenol are both extremely hard on the liver.  You should never combine them without your doctors approval.  I don't just mean you can't take them at the same time or on the same day.  Do not take tylenol as long as you are on methotrexate.
I take MTX and the only thing my RD allows is Tylenol. I am apprehensive too because I know it's hard on the liver but I just try and drink plenty of water if I have to. yeah all i can have is tylenol
no advil or motrin, wah!!!
 
i take tylenol whenever i need it
i guess he isnt worried, or if there was a problem maybe he'd notice it in the bloodtests
we have bloodwork done every other week
 
actually going to have it tommorow..
Star,
Fever does not always mean it is JRA/RA related.  There are many other things it could be. 
Phats
 
Hope you are feeling better today.
 
Also...99 is not uncommon-especially at the end of the day.  It is normal for your temp. to be higher in the evening. 
 
I believe my dr. classifies 100.3 and above as a fever-so don't panic yet. 
could it be a cold? i usually get a cold around the begining of september, and ya know, august is practically over. maybe the cold will be early this year...
 
my mom hopes im ok, since if i have fevers and stuff, he sayd he wont lower the prednisone. ugh, and that would suck.
 
i hope it was just somethin else tho
