Feeling of fever but...no fever!

I have experienced the warmth and feverish feeling for the past 5 yrs. My face and neck also flush terribly. I have taken my temperature and it didn't register a fever. However, I have read that people who typically have low body temperature (me - possibly due to thyroid/adrenal problems) probably are running a fever, but it doesn't register as high as a person who has normal body temperature.

As for the cause, hopefully someone else will come along and explain!

I have this all the time. I keep taking my temp, but it is always at my usual low temp. I heat up suddenly then eventually cool down for no apparent reason. Sometimes I get chills with it. I get hot spots too. Mostly on my right knee.

This happened to me as well. I think what happens is this...

There is a massive cytokine cascade that happens particularly with Lyme and Bartonella. But also happens with some of the co-infections. The cytokines are good to seek infection and direct our white blood cells to fight the intrusive bacteria, but too much and too many is bad thing and it just causes chaos confusion and a whole bunch of havok in the body. One thing is that it blinds our immune system. It turns out that this cytokine storm also gets into our brain and causes problems with our hypothalamus and pituitary which is the brain center for hormone regulation in the entire body. This system malfunctions and you get problems with your thyroid and adrenal glands causing low energy, low body temperature, etc.

This is very common occurance with the Lyme infection and the cytokine cascade. You can do things to get this cytokine cascade under control and you will literally feel at least 50% better! Or so I think. I think you can take things like concentrated curcumin or japanese knotweed and this will resolve this cytokine cascade.

Yes, today in fact.
Feel feverish right now (was up all night with a stomach virus- throwing up every hour until 10am with diarrhea - then aches - and chills - and then hot cheeks and really hot all through out my body.

I used to always be able to run a fever before lyme. With lyme it just becomes a normal temp - like 98.6 although one time 1 1/2 years ago it went above 99 when I had a week long flu.

Anyways, yes, yes and yes.

My whole life my regular temp was 98.6 and fevers were always above that number. Not anymore... I wonder what causes this....

Face is flushed again and feels warm, hot to touch, dont feel feverish.

Oh my gosh, that has happened to me so often! Like every few weeks or something, ever since I first got the flu-like illness (with a temperature that WAS confirmed by the people who were with me when I got sick).
I'll complain of a fever, someone will put their hand on my forehead, and say, "nup, you don't have fever. Nothing wrong" (so frustrating, when I KNOW there's something wrong!).
