I have had FMS/ME/CFS since 1989. But for the past 3 months I've had a FEVER of 101-103 degrees Farenheit. Yes I am in mid-flare.
I've been on 2 rounds of antibiotics because my bloodwork shows elevated White Blood Count so my family doc was thinking I had some sort of infection. But no luck so far and now I refuse anymore antibiotics as they have given me thrush in my mouth and thrown my whole GI tract off-kilter, now I'm on OTC pro-biotics to fix the problem the antibiotics caused...
Other factors: positive C-reactive protein (indicates general inflammation,) and elevated SED rate, indicating the same, inflammation. Duh I have fibro, of course I'm a walking case of Inflammation!
Anyway I'm getting so tired of waking up soaked in sweat and needing to change my bed in the middle of the night. So tired of having the chills and/or sweats during the day, tired of taking OTC preparations to lower fever, which will only lower it to 101 degrees. Yes that is better than 103 but not by much.
Has anyone else had a fever with their diagnosed? I now am supposed to start ALL OVER AGAIN with a new doc, an "infectious disease doc" and I am feeling like the fever will never end and that I'm going backwards as far as getting a diagnosed. I'm so tired of laying in bed feeling like crap! If anyone else has mysterious fevers, PLEASE let me know!
