I get fevers on and off all the time.  I can feel my body temp go up and my skin gets really warm.  I'm sort of used to it already.

When this happens I get really extremely tired.

ranelle,

     my body temp runs low just like yours so i would suggest monitering it closely. while at my mini-spa vacation at the local hospital i was running a 101 fever. tylenol and 2 bags of blood got me back into the fighting ring. perhaps you should get your hemoglobin levels checked out and take some extra naps. be well.

I know that fevers are normal the day or so after the shot, but I have started to having them here the last 24 hours or so. My shots are done on Sundays and I started having fevers in the 99's since yesterday. I know 99's dont sound high, but my body temps usually range from the high 96 to mid 97 range. Anyone else have fevers this late after the shot?

Increases in body temp is very common following  interferon injection. Here's a link to a 2011 report on that. I wouldn't be alarmed at all. Your temp elevation still remains low overall.
