Low-grade Fevers That Come And Go For Years Posted: 09-23-06 11:12am
For as far back as I can remember, I have
had this weak, fatigued, anxious feeling
come over me and I always run for the
thermometer so I can take my temp and see
what might be going on.
Usually, my temperature is 98.4 to 98.7
but whenever I get this feeling and take
my temp, it's always something like 99.4
or 99.6. It never goes over the 99.6 mark
(although I think maybe it did once a few
years ago).
I've been to doctor after doctor,
specialist after specialist and had years
and years worth of tests for just about
everything known. I have been told by
various doctors that they are not worried
about it and i've been told by various
other's that some people just run "hotter"
than others.
This thing has gone on for years and I
don't think it's normal at all because
when I have these little "low-grades", I
don't feel so good. I get them
intermittantly which means that my temp
could go up and down several times each
day for 3-4 days in a row, stay normal for
a week and then start going up again. I
never know when this feeling (along with a
spike in temp) is going to occur and I can
be working, resting, doing nothing, etc
and I still get this feeling along with
the temp. Also, I never drink hot or cold
beverages or food before taking my temp.
Has anyone else ever experienced this
before?. I am at a complete loss and
desperate for answers.
Thank you so much!!, sd

You know what I have been having the exact
problem this week. It freeks me out! I
always have an urge to check my
temperature! So I wake up I check it 98.5
which is normal then during the day I for
some reason I need to check it again its
99.5 or 99.6 -----never gets higher than
that just like you. Then an hour later I
check it again and its 98.7 normal again.
I think its all in your head just anxiety
that makes you feel like that because ive
been to the doctors and nothings wrong. I
have no flu like symptoms or
infections.... Just dont understand it
