Auto Immune Fevers?


Ennis-TX

Recommended Posts

Ennis-TX Grand Master

So it used to VERY common for me to run fevers for days growing up. But I have not had issues with it in a few years till recently.
For the past few months I have been running a fever nonstop 102-104F, would not have really noticed it aside from constant sweating sometimes. Anyway I keep checking my temp and seeing it always in this range, no fatigue, sometimes a bit of a mild headache, no pains, the vomiting stopped weeks ago with diet eating habits, and enzymes, stools formed solid and going 3-6 time a day...but I eat a ton.

Really odd part here, a forehead thermometer will show my temp to be 97,6 all the time. Oral, Underarm, or rectal core temp is is the 102F-104F sometimes spiking to 105F.  Wondering if autoimmune related. I even have spreadsheets of them throughout the day, with no correlation to foods, meds, exercise etc. Just completely random.

I welcome any insight or opinions.

Ennist_Tx,

I am not saying this is what it is ...but it bears checking into.

Persistent, intermittent fever could be reactivated EBV. ... it also known as CAEBV.

Here is some research about it.

Persistent, intermittent fevers is one of the main characteristics of CAEBV.  Your probably don't have fatigue most people have because you are taking Magnesium.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

Ennis_Tx,

If you want to try and bird dog it yourself and don't have enough insurance to go see a doctor at the moment.

Here is the AAFP site article about this topic of a Fever of an Unknown Origin (FUO)

https://www.aafp.org/afp/2003/1201/p2223.html

Again I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

Posterboy,

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.
