Fevers?

February 13, 2008

I have been through a really bad health week.

Last THursday it started with Severe Fatigue.....so much that my body was

totally numb.

Saturday night I started with a fever of like 100.6

That went away on Sunday but then I started with a congested cough.

On Monday I started with the head congestion.........

Now I immediately went on the Zpak to combat the bronchitis.......but on

Monday afternoon I started again with the fevers......and I haven't been able to

shake it since......

Now I thought the Fatigue was Fibromylgia related and I still think that but

what about the fever......Has anyone ever had an unexplained fever that

carried on for days?

Hi Ken,

When I get what I call the Fibro Flu, with the same achey muscles and tender

skin and fatigue and feel like I have the flu, I run a low temp from 99.2 to

100.2 usually. Sometimes I run it when I don't have the flu-like symptoms.

But my doctor says it is associated with Fibromyalgia.

Hi Ken,

Back in 1995 I started having unexplained fevers, normally low grade. I was

also having pain that I kept saying was in my hip bones, then in my shoulders,

then in my back. After $100,000+ in testing, having my case taken to a

medical conference, and stumping the best doctor at Frist Clinic my diagnosis

was

" We just don't know what's wrong with you " . At that point I asked am I just

depressed and was told " You probably are after everything you have went

through but we know there is a problem because your blood work isn't right " . So

for

a long time they debated if I had leukemia, something (can't remember what

the first word was) dysplastic syndrome, or if my internal temp gage went on

the fritz.

Well, in 2006 I finally got a real diagnosis and they feel all that stuff

was related back to that point in 1995. My diagnosis??? Fybromyalgia!!! The

person to finally figure it out??? My diabetic specialist!

When I told my primary care physician what my diabetic specialist said he

said " I bet you think I don't believe you " . Comes to find out he had thought

that was the problem all along but felt that sending me to the specialists at

The Frist Clinic was the road to take. When they couldn't figure it out he just

thought he was wrong all along. He said that he had other patience over the

years that had the fevers but since they weren't a classic sign it made the

diagnosis harder.

So if it was my guess, you are in the middle of a flare. That's when I have

the most trouble with fevers.

Hope that helps a little

Soft Hugs,

Angelia

Every now and then I'll have low grade fever no higher than 99.1 that

usually coincide with bad allergy days, allergy related flare ups, and

sinus pressure and pain. But if it goes that high I usually assume I'm

fighting a bug like a cold or flu. Hope you feel better!

works for me all the time so the bronchitis is pretty much gone but I can't

shake this fever.

Ken,

I have unexplained fevers sometimes. I spent 9 days in the hospital

recently due to an asthma exacerbation brought on by bronchitis. Had

the heavy-duty crap they give you in the veins and still my fevers

hit. Came home and guess what? They started again and I was re-

diagnosed w/bronchitis and given levaquin. Went to my pulmonologist

yesterday and he has decided to do a head CT scan to make sure

there's nothing going on in my sinuses, etc. that is causing this.

It's a pain in the butt is what it is. Bad enough to be fatigued

because of the fibro, but to feel like crap on top of it??? Yuck!

Just commiserating here in Georgia,

Darlene
