Sean,
I have temp changes that go in both directions. Sometimes I'm 97.9., next day I'm 99.6. But these changes never seem to last more than a few hours at a time. Have you been experiencing extreme tiredness or exhaustion? My doc says that can cause you to be more susceptible(?) to colds and flu like symptoms. I've noticed that some of the temp changes seem to come with depressive states, but I don't know if one has anything to do with the other.....Peace,
