Something is changing her temperature

[Guest guest]

Listmates,

My daughter had her vitamin D level tested last week and it was half of the

bottom of the reference range for cholecalciferol, and slightly above the

range for calcitriol which is the activated form. I've been trying to

supplement cholecalciferiol this week, but it (or something) seemed to be

keeping her awake at night, so I tried to give more of it in the morning

and when she gets home from school. Also I started last week adding in

giving her tylenol and benedryl (equivalent to Tylenol PM) at night, and I

added in melatonin last night in about 4.5 mgs. I had given 3 mgs. the

night before.

Something big changed over last night that we've never seen before. Her

usual morning temperature has been 97.4 or 97.5 when she isn't sleep

deprived, but it might go a full point lower when she is sleep deprived and

down to 94 after she has been sick.

Well, this morning I was shocked to see 98.5. Later in the day, it was

98.0 and then later 98.3. We've never seen her temperature this high

before and though she seemed sick last week (excruciating sore throat for

four days and congestion and total fibrofog and temperature above her

normal...it seemed like flu and her doctor gave her a z-pack in case it was

bacterial), but she is OK now. I'm not sure what changed last night, and I

can't tell you what effect this has had on pain issues, for I forgot to ask

about pain. Her concentration for her studies was not all that great

tonight, she said, but she had 60 pages to read of a textbook which would

try anyone's concentration!

Anyway, something big is changing to give her this high a

temperature.. Perhaps the vitamin D I've been giving for about a week is

finally kicking in or maybe it is the melatonin. Has anyone had similar

experience? We think she has had adrenal fatigue that pushed her into such

overt fibromyalgia. but she has run subnormal temperature her entire

life. That's why this change is a shock. Thyroid medicine last summer

upped her temperature to normal for one day, and then it went back to its

old routine of being low despite the medicine.

How many of you run low temperature? Have you even had vitamin D

tested? Has a vitamin D supplement ever helped someone a great deal? I

know there are theories out there of a tight connection between

fibromyalgia and vitamin D deficiency, which is why we had her

tested. Also, she just has done much better in summer and during marching

season when she is in the sun for three hours a day.

I have never watched my temp close enough to tell you what my normal temp is. I

do know that many of us complain of being " hot " and then " cold " from one minute

to the next. I should pay closer attention. I don't consider myself to have a

fever unless it hits 100.F.

BUT... we all know that everyone has a little bit different body temp which is

their own " normal " . So I see what you are saying. Mine probably does fluctuate

alot.

I have heard many say that VIT D deficiency is common to most of us. I have

not had mine tested. It is a very commom thing with fibromyalgia for some

reason though.

I sure hope she gets to feeling better soon. My heart is with you both. I

know how a mother loves and worries about her children. I hope mine don't ever

get this curse of an illness. (they say it has a hereditary component).

love and hugs to you,

Hi Debra,

Temperature is such a crazy thing. I have always had a low normal temp, which

is in the 97.8 to 98.2 range, so when I get a fever of 99.2, which seems to be a

favorite number for me, I can feel it. I do get hot and then cold and back

again, but it doesn't always have to do with whether I have a fever or not.

Sometimes I feel like I'm more like a cold blooded animal instead of a mammal,

because I feel hot or cold without reasons so much of the time instead of

staying pretty constant. In the morning and half the day I am cold and put on a

heavy sweater and warm sweat pants in the house; then when it gets toward late

afternoon and evening I start getting really hot and end up with just pants and

a T shirt and barefooted. It's really annoying.

I've also had annoyingly low blood pressure most of my life. It's more normal

now, but it use to be so low that my doctor said I was walking around in

perpetual shock. I remember years ago when there was a scare about toxicity

caused by wearing a tampon too long and the first sign was a drop in blood

pressure. My gyn told me not to worry, because if my blood pressure dropped I

just be dead anyway. He was joking of course. But it has been a problem

because if I stood up like a normal person from a sitting position I would get

dizzy. Several times I passed out before I could sit back down and ended up

knocking one of my front teeth out when I was in college. (Mortifying at that

age to be snaggle toothed until I could get it fixed.) I subsequently knocked

that same tooth out 2 more times from passing out. They called it Syncope I

think. My daughter has the same thing except when she's pregnant her blood

pressure is normal so for 3 nine month periods she felt normal,

whatever that is.

I must be annoyed today because I surely did use that word a lot in this post.

Take care,

Marti

I've not taken my temp regularly. Usually, if I'm not feeling well and I

take it, I almost never have a fever. It is around normal to maybe 97

degrees. I've read this is not a big deal. With regard to the vitamin D,

mine was tested in October and it was low. I am trying to supplement

regularly as it is also a contributing factor to SAD. Yes, it makes sense

that your daughter feels better in the summer and during marching season.
