A member asked:

I have lupus and my fever comes and goes for 2 weeks. it gets worst under the ac at work. should i take a few days off until my fever gone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: Why don't you discuss that issue with your own rheumatologist? There may be options that will prevent fevers if they are truly secondary to lupus.
