I am newly diagnosed and have had a fever for a fortnight. (Up to 38.5) My Dr has done labs. Has any one else had this?

Hi April,
I was very feverish off and on during the first few months that I had RA. It can be one of the symptoms of the disease, especially at onset or during a flare, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is related and not something else afoot. Mine began to lessen once I started the plaquenil, and now I only experience them if I'm having a really bad day and get really fatigued.
Hope they go soon!
Sara
