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.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC358181/

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,

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

      Thankyou I did find out the Infectious disease is the route to go rather than dermatologist. I did reach out to two major hospitals and currently waiting on approval for one of them in Infectious Diseases to call me. I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      I love Middle Eastern food and eggplant, and here is another version we shared some time back:

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
