Ive had those low fevers also and usually a couple of Tylenol and that takes care of it. Luckily I've never hit the magic 101.4 level the drs required a phone call. I think its due to dyhadratetion also and that was confirmed once with the team. I myself are doing good but still fighting this side problem of CMV from the donor heart and Parvio B19 virus. Neither causes any symptoms but twice now i had to get whole blood due to low hemaglobin. They tried this last time a week in hosp to receive IVIG antibodies and will find out in a couple of weeks if it killed the b19. But i feel great working out and playing golf no real complaints.

@danab - Thanks for your reply. I probably tend to get over anxious and concerned about temperature because I have on several occassion experienced sudden spites that required treatment.
Wow, a week in the hospital. -And to think that I dreaded my temperature! Actually I was hospitalized once with sepsis, and I will not forget the fear and the ER and ambulance ride. It is a memory that my husband and I never want to relive. That is why I easily get overly concerned. - I hope that you get good results.

I am happy that you are able to get out and enjoy your life! I imagine that your golf and working out are double blessings since transplant. I have no experience with heart transplant, but from what I have seen and read, you must have been unable to do those things.before. Did you play golf before your heart transplant? I would bet that you enjoy it more now? Dare I ask if your score has improved?😉

Have you met @tbirdmunchkin @glinda who posted recently? She also is a heart transploant recipient.
