My base temperature has risen to about 99.4 for several months. Starting this weekend, my face has felt flushed off and on. When it feels flushed, I feel pressure in my face, or maybe my head. If I take my temperature at that time, my temperature is well over 100. If I look in the mirror, my face looks mottled. The more flushed, and the more mottled, the higher the temperature.
Whether or not I take anything, my temperature goes back down to its regular low nineties in an hour or so and seems to more or less stay there until I feel the flush again.
I feel so *stupid* saying this to a doctor. Unless he sees something in the checkup, there's really no other symptoms. I may possibly have an earache, but if I'm not even sure, how can it be an earache?
I hate going to a doctor and having him laugh at me. I've got my husband for a witness, but even so...
