Chronic Low Grade Fever

I have had a 99-100 degree low grade fever now for about three months. Have active EBV, CMV, long history of Lyme and co's. Recent bloods two weeks ago show active anaplasmosis, haven't gotten all bloods back yet. Any ideas? Doctor suggest Minocin and possible antiviral after using many herbals and supplements like Golden Seal Root, Monoalaurin, Lysine, Oil of Oregano, Licorice root, Isatis, Colloidal Silver?

Emotions, have you been tested for possible molds/mycotoxins? Has your doctor ordered C4a and/or TGBF1? There are some others but these are pretty good at looking for that inflammatory response that's pretty much a given with biotoxins. I was just reading up on this today (again) and boy oh boy do your symptoms fit that profile. You may want to look along these lines as well for answers.

Hi Emotions.

I also have had chronic daily fevers since September. I have had a few weeks at a time when it has gone away. The first time was when I added Bactrum to Azithromycin, Mepron, and Doxy. However, I had to stop it back then because of QT interval on EKG. But the addition of Bactim was VERY effective. My fevers started going away. Then I went on a combo that included Alinia. Alinia is very potent for Babesia. So far it is continuing to bring my fevers down and keep them away. YaY!

Thank everybody. These are greatly helpful responses! I appreciate your input.

Krimpet... no I have not been tested for mold/mycotoxins. However I remember my first doctor had me on drops for mold and I did very well. Will ask for the C4A/ TGBF1? These are inflammatory markers that are more specific to mycotoxins?

July...Kudzu for headache? Bragg ACV everyday in water? My Vit D hasn't come up in years...prescription dose like 50,000Iu or regular doses? B12 injections help for energy?

Evanston...just didn't want to start with antibiotics ...feel so crappy on them

Has anybody done minocycline for anaplasma?

BB, Bab, and Bart came back neg today! CD57 is low....It's funny though physically feel worse, but mentally better. The cognitive/mental part I feel is far worse than the physical!

Do you guys notice any hand tremors?

I recently started having low-grade fevers (99-100) after starting Bactrim while on Azithro and Minocyclin. I notice it every afternoon around the same time and sure enough, when I check my temp, it's a fever. Drinking lots of water and detoxing; hoping they go away soon.

AK - I'm reading the posts but I don't see where Emotion says they don't treat the Anaplasmosis.


Anaplasmosis is one that is usually taken care of when the Lyme is treated.

I continue to have daily fevers and it is my most annoying symptom. They range anywhere from 99.2-100.5. I recently did rife and they were at the higher range the following day closer to 100.5. Granted, the fevers are not 102 or 103.... but even at 99.2, I feel like I have a fever. Head fog, eyes feel funky, etc. Its been my most persistent symptom.

The fevers went away twice during treatment for a few weeks at a time. Once when I was on Bactrim, Azithyomicin, Mepron and Doxy and another time when I was on Alinia, Doxy, and Ceftin. However, I can't take antibiotics anymore and fevers were back after a month of stopping.

I am in the midst of experimenting with alternative treatments with herbs, rife, and ozone. Hoping that will knock these infections down. I wish I had a better answer for those of you with fevers too. But I don't. They are still going strong since September.

Dr. K says some critters like Borrelia know how to lower body temperature: low body temperature is then a lyme disease symptom.

Bb does that to weaken immune responses. If my memory is good, 1 degree less in body temperature raises the number of active pathogens to 50% more or so!

This is because enzymes do not work well = metabolism does not work well = low immunity.

I think though that candida also lowers body temperature. Excess of toxins too (herxes always lowered mine).

During lyme, everyone will bump into thyroid problems and treat that (it will help a bit, in my experience). Anyway, thyroid hormone balancing is a must for any immune related problem.

If after that, temperature is still low, antimicrobials may help (as weakening some pathogens such as Borrelia will make your body temperature raise a bit)

I had chronic low body temperature all my life. I suspect that mercury toxicity during my whole life (at least since I was 8-10 years old) made my thyroid messy...

People with warmer bodies usually do not fall ill with chronic infections. That is one reason why some people fare very well with saunas, or heat, I suspect. Hyperthermia kills cancer cells, but also reactivates the immune system.

I have been recently treating my hormones, and I do think it helped me increase body temperature (estradiol, pregnonelone...). At least, for the first time in my life, I sweat after eating, if the temperature is high. It never happened before, I think. I'm 50, and spent my whole life feeling cold, rarely sweating.

I suspect dr. K. is right in saying that the higher the body temperature, the less infections you let develop, just because your enzymes start working, boosting your immunity!
