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,

      Reese's Plant Based PeanutButter Cups are made with non-Gluten Free Oats and only states on the package Dairy Free.  Is it safe for Celiacs or those with Gluten Intolerance issues to consume?  I think Mars is taking a small step in the right direction concerning food allergies and wish they were Gluten Free.

      These items are on sale for $3.99 at Target: Choose from Choclate Chip, Grahams or Vanilla Wafers.   I purchased all 3 plus an extra Choclate Chip.  All are produced in a dedicate Gluten & Peanut Free Facility and other choices are available on amazon.com.

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
