Daily low grade fever

running wild had/has this.

I’m sure he’ll chime in.

@saraeli - I don’t have any other symptoms that occur whenever I get these fevers. They usually happen at the same time everyday but the time changes week to week

One of the guys I talk to started getting daily low-grade fevers between 99-100 past few months. He recently tested positive by PCA for EBV. I think this was runningwild’s problem as well

i have some notes from a presentation by Dr Burrascano on this ( the guy the wrote the ILADS treatment guidelines.

i also read that the more immunosuppressed your system is the lower these fevers may be

From Q and A
Clinical signs that may cause you to suspect or differentiate from lyme
1. Disproportionate CNS symptoms – esp rage, anxiety, irritability = bart
2. 99.5 C morning mild fevers or mild night sweats – vs afternoon fevers mild with Lyme
3. Relapse after treatment with ABX stops
- lyme = slow 3-4weeks
- bart = fast to respond – and fast to relapse 4-5days – 7-10 max
he notes that the clinical picture he sees in Bart is rarely clear cut and exactly as the textbooks for cat scratch fever - many other symptoms and presentations are possible and a great deal of overlap with Lyme - or often people have both - or you just don’t know – but abx can be selected that work well for both / and more

@garzie so the low grade fevers could be from Lyme and/or bartonella?

USS - I had similar low grade fevers, always in the afternoon or early evening, for about two years. I was also diagnosed with EBV and attributed it to that, but now I'm not quite sure why they were happening. With the LG fever came fatigue, and I could tell I was about to get a mild fever just by how I felt before it happened.

For whatever reason, the fevers, for the most part, have stopped. Not sure why. I have had a resurgence of fatigue, but it seems to be related to heart or kidneys. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

That's what I thought. No doctor or naturopath could answer that question. The fever I experienced was sometimes as low as 98.8, but my usual body temperature is usually around 98.0 - 98.2, so I could feel it before checking.

So you don't feel any fatigue when it hits? And is there a certain time of day for them?

I would actually say I do feel extra fatigued when I have the fevers. And usually it’s the worst in the morning or in the evenings. I can get them a few times a day too. Sometimes it’s even steady throughout an entire day from 98.8-99.1...

Sometimes people need several different simultaneous MCAS treatments to control all the different symptoms. One treatment might help one set of symptoms and miss others. But your question makes sense, of course. I guess the answer is maybe? :-/

I’m doing Claritin and cromolyn- do you know if it can take longer than a week to see results with regards to mcas?
