fevers

so i have been reading about fevers today cuz i get confused by wondering what is a fever, cuz often when i am sick i feel feverish but it hasn't reached the 99.9 which iw as always told is a fever, well acording to web pages from a number of hospitals a fever is when the persons temp is 1 degree higher than normal, so for me durring the day my temp is almost always 98.2 the avveage is apperently 98.6, and of course everyones temp gets warmer in afternoon early evening then gets pretty cold in early morning or while asleep. i get curious sometimes and take it several times in a day on a few random days just so i know what my normal temp is for various times of day. but anyhow when i feel like i have a low grade fever and take temp and it says it is 99.3 it is cuz yeah for me thats a low grade fever. and 100 is higehr for me than someone who's normal temp is 98.6
i normaly like use a thermometer to give me an idea how sick i am cuz i tend to tell myself i just have allergies when in fact i am really sick and in the past doing this landed me in the emergency room with a high fever that kept going up. now days i try and keep an i on myself and figure out when i am really sick and when i have allergies. also i think i get sick a little more often than the average person but i used to get sick a lot more. basically after i had mono i got sick whenever anyone mentioned the word sick, i would end up with a flue or something that would last 3 weeks. i am doing much better now days and am getting sick less and less often.
