Hi, fellow lupus survivor! You mentioned that your lupus is in remission - but maybe you should see your rheumy and get your c-reactive protein levels checked - maybe some of the fever/inflamation is related to that. Remember that flares are stress-related, and you certainly have the stress going.
Best wishes and keep posting.
