What Are The Symptoms Of SLE?

I am 64 and have been diagnosed with mild SLE few months ago.I was taking plaquenil then my body temperature appeared to be elevated but about two weeks ago i started (on the advice of my rheumalogist) taking 10 mg tablet of Gupisone(a steroid). Now my body temperature is in the range of 35 to 36. What could be the cause of this lowering? ..... Masuda
