When I was hospitalized, they always take your temperature, and mine was
always up to 100, but it was a false temperature!
The bed I was in had a mattress cover that was made of some type of
rubber, so when I was lying on it, there was no air circulation between
the fitted sheet and the rubber cover, which caused me to sweat and raise
my temperature. I told the nurses, but they didn't believe me.
If I got out of bed, and sat in a chair, my temperature dropped to normal
in 1/2 hour. One night I woke up in a pool of sweat (cooking around 102).
When I sat in the chair while the nurses mopped up and changed the
sheets, they realized what I was talking about. Didn't raise many
eyebrows though. They just upped my pain med to shut me up. Fidiots!
