Does Prednisone Affect Body Temperature Readings?

I am currently keeping track of my body temperature in preparation to discuss possible problems with my thyroid, but I am on PredniSone. Will this affect my body temperature readings . . . I had an steroid shot on Monday and the first pill last night, but my basal temp this morning is 96.8 and when I woke up in the middle of the night feeling hot with a fan on it was 97.2.
