Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I hear ya Joyce, it always comes back to that connective collegen disease, weird hey! Dyane, hi. i hear you about the lo grade temps. every time a nurse takes my temp and says its good at 98.8 i just chuckle and thats after something cold i drank. At 102 i become so delerious. An infectious doc at Penn was curious about the source of my lo grade temps as they are always around. I may go through a short period of a normal 96, but have to admit was shocked to see a 95.7. lol Infec doc had several thoughts an underlining infection, connective collagen disease and then it is a known fact i have sjogrens. But she thought there was more to it.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Joyce, I don't remember who I responded to about farm related causes. I used to live in the central valley of California and they did have a Valley Fever caused by the farm chemicals and dried poultry feces that are inhaled. It causes a bacterial infection and other irritation caused lung problems. I think my pneumonitis could have started by exposure to bird dander and dried airborne poop.

A lot of the people I know on the Adult Onset Still's Disease board have low grade fevers and similar to Dyanne, our usual temps run low.The bad part about AOSD is one of the typical things we go through as our disease progresses is the Still's or "Dragon Fevers". They typically happen once or twice a day with each one lasting about 2 hours. (I had the 2 cycle) They are like clockwork every day, sometimes for several months and usually hit 103-104+ F and rarely less than that. Mine hit around 7PM till 9PM and again at about 2 or 3 AM. The middle of the night ones were the worse as I would wake up in a pool of my own sweat (really gross). By the way, nothing usually touches the fevers, not Acetamenphen or Ibuprophen. You just ride them out. The sufferers who get this symptom before diagnosis spend frequent time in the ER with the docs just scratching their heads as it is an uncommon autoinflammatory disease and the symptoms do not always occur in the same order with everyone. Those visits usually result in test after test after test and bunches of antibiotics to no avail until you move to the next set of symptoms.Tom> >> > Hi All,> > I'm not sure why this popped into my head, but I have had low grade> > fevers at night for years, no one has ever figured out why.
