Can you tell me about how high your fever goes honey? I am curious. I should

start checking my temp just to see if it varies during a flare.

Hi Ken,

Back in 1995 I started having unexplained fevers, normally low grade. I was

also having pain that I kept saying was in my hip bones, then in my shoulders,

then in my back. After $100,000+ in testing, having my case taken to a

medical conference, and stumping the best doctor at Frist Clinic my diagnosis

was

" We just don't know what's wrong with you " . At that point I asked am I just

depressed and was told " You probably are after everything you have went

through but we know there is a problem because your blood work isn't right " . So

for

a long time they debated if I had leukemia, something (can't remember what

the first word was) dysplastic syndrome, or if my internal temp gage went on

the fritz.

Well, in 2006 I finally got a real diagnosis and they feel all that stuff

was related back to that point in 1995. My diagnosis??? Fybromyalgia!!! The

person to finally figure it out??? My diabetic specialist!

When I told my primary care physician what my diabetic specialist said he

said " I bet you think I don't believe you " . Comes to find out he had thought

that was the problem all along but felt that sending me to the specialists at

The Frist Clinic was the road to take. When they couldn't figure it out he just

thought he was wrong all along. He said that he had other patience over the

years that had the fevers but since they weren't a classic sign it made the

diagnosis harder.

So if it was my guess, you are in the middle of a flare. That's when I have

the most trouble with fevers.

Hope that helps a little

Soft Hugs,

Angelia
