Help! I Don't Know Whats Wrong... Any Ideas?

Hey everyone
For the past month I have just NOT been
well... and Ive been to the doctor (2 of
them) and neither one of them really knows
whats going on and I'm starting to get
desperate for any idea.
At the beginning of the month I had a
horrible tension headache every day for a
week, I went to the doctor, he told me he
didnt know why, ordered an MRI, and
everything came back ok, so he put me on
fioricet- which I took for the first
couple of days (its prescribed take as
needed) and then havent taken much of it
since.
The headaches started to go away... and
then about 2 weeks ago... I got a fever.
And I've had this fever every day since
then. The weird thing is, I don't have
any cold symptoms such as sore throat,
stuffy nose, cough or anything. AND the
fever doesnt spike or go about 100.6. It
pretty much stays within the 99.5 area,
though lately its been staying around the
100 area. My headaches randomly come back
but now feel more like a sudden stabbing
pain instead of a dull gradual ache. And
then they go away on their own.
My only other symptoms are constipation
and if I do any amount of real physical
activity, nausea and wooziness.
I am late (period wise) but I've taken 3
different pregnancy tests and they all say
negative. Also I was on birthcontrol pills
for less than a month and stopped taking
them last month because of the horrible
side effects Ive had- so Ive been thinking
that, along with stress may be the cause
of my period being late.
I'm waiting on blood tests back, but even
after we get those back, all it will do is
deny or confirm that I have a bacterial
infection and there will still be a lot of
searching to be done. I was just
wondering if anyone has any ideas as to
what could be going on.
Im supposed to be leaving the state on a
trip in a few days and now I'm afraid to
since I don't know whats going on and how
quickly it will get worse.

ok first off calm down
you dont need to post numerous times
just post once ok? because people will see
it its rude to post several times
you need to see a psyciatrist
if youre feeling this way and they cant
find anything medically wrong with you

I don't think going to a psychiatrist is
going to get rid of a fever... which is a
sign that something is physically wrong
and the body is fighting something off...
so, thanks... but I don't think thats what
I need.
Its not that they can't find anything
wrong with me... they know something is
definitely up now. Its that they don't
know WHAT is wrong. I'm just trying to see
if anyone else has had any of these
symptoms before.
Thanks though... I wasnt sure which
section to post it under, I didnt know you
could see a new post even if it wasnt in
the section you're looking in. Sorry.

missed period

Yes, 100 is a low grade fever.  )
I don't think its mono because my
boyfriend hasnt gotten sick at all. Hes
completely fine and my family and friends
are all completely ok. So I'm guessing
its not something I caught from someone
and not something contagious. So if it
does come out that it is an infection
somewhere, we still don't know where it
would be. Any guesses? Thanks for all of
the replies! I appreciate it! )

have mono without symptoms for a while?

yeah symptoms show up for mono 4 to 6
weeks after youre exposed... but usually
it goes from no symptoms (no fever, no
fatigue) to a high fever, sore throat,
swollen glands and tonsils very quickly -
within a couple of days and my mild
symptoms have been around for almost 2
weeks. :/

Sorry. |
Fevers are a good thing. They are doing
what they are supposed to do...kill the
invading infections.
You aren't supposed to treat fevers that
are lower that 101 degrees.

I would say so. Google the purpose of
fevers.
