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!
