My body temperature is rising from 99.5 f--is this a fever?

Not really: You have not even gone up one degree which you can truly fluctuate just by climbing some stairs. Doesn't mean you aren't on you way up, but i would not be concerned about that temp. Drink a lot of water and rest to see if that helps. You may be getting sick but only time will tell.
