Well, I was going to be put on a different medication back in November, but I told my rheumatologist I'd been having temperature swings.  He said I'd have to get with my regular doctor and be checked out.  Nothing was found, and my temp still swung from 97.1 to 100.5 in a 24 hour period. (My GP said it looked like the stock he invested in.)

Now I have a chest cold and it seems to top out at 99.5 or so in the evenings before bed.  It stays below normal while I'm at work, most of the time.  I'm going to start the tracker over and include activities, food, etc. like Lene Anderson suggested and see if I come up with a pattern.

Some days I am fine with just the stuff I'm taking.  Sometimes I have to have some over-the-counter pain meds to get through the day or night.  Sometimes I sleep like a rock, other times some painful body part will keep me awake half the night--a knee, a hip, an elbow, a wrist.  Or all at once.

My older daughter bought me a couch cane.  I had sent her the link for it, then discovered how expensive it was and asked her not to bother.  It came last week and it is good for that minute just after standing when the legs don't know if they are going to collapse or not.  My husband gets me up when the cane can't do the job.

I can't step over my cat anymore.  If he is flopped out in a doorway or the hall I end up prodding him with a foot until he moves (or grabs my leg out of annoyance!) so I can proceed.  One Saturday I was feeling really good and was going about the house doing the laundry, dusting, sweeping, emptying trash, not sitting down.  Poor cat was going nuts because Grandma usually perches in one spot or another most of the day and he followed me everywhere waiting for me to take root.  >He< slept like a rock that night!
