What is the ARS fever typically like?

I had what I think may have been a fever on day 14 after exposure.  I was at work and I thought that it seemed colder than usual.  I was going to put on my sweater, but then decided against it for some reason (it was colder, but not freezing cold by any means -- just like there was a draft).  I asked someone else if it was colder than usual and they didn't think so.  An hour or two later I was back to usual.  This was about 11am.  I didn't even of think of fever, but later I read that fevers make you feel colder and I thought, hmmm...

When I measured my temp that evening at 6pm, it was 98.5.  So clearly the fever was gone, if I had ever had one,  (and I hadn't felt cold for hours now).  I never shivered or had sweats or anything.

I wish I could've taken my temp at work, but to this day, I don't know if it was a fever or not.  And in particular if it was typical of ARS fevers (realizing that ARS in some people doesn't happen at all, but I figure there are the "typical" cases still).

Thanks for any responses.

I was wondering about ARS fever as well, the one exposure that worries me was a cheating GF, that while I was going out with, I got VERY sick for 2 weeks at one point. When I got sick, I never knew about ARS. Now I worry that might have been it. I hope not.

If you had an ARS fever you wouldn't have been at work and you would more than likely been flat on your back in bed. ARS fevers are over 101F and can last from 1 to 2 weeks.
