Regarding Low Grade Fever

For the past seven years I have had a low-grade fever (from 99 to 100 degrees), accompanied by a severe exhaustion. This condition starts in the late morning and continues to around 4:00 or 5:00 pm. During this seven year period this is a daily occurrence in every summer and also sometimes in winter also.

I have seen nine doctors in the last times . All tests done by them proved negative.

At times I've seriously thought that I am losing my mind -- though I can see the evidence of the fever in my trusty thermometer. My quality of life right now hovers just over zero -- , and my wonderful husband has suffered tremendously as I go through this.

A few additional notes -- I'm 41 years old, in very good health (except for this).  I am diabetic from Jan 2007. Due to fever I cann't do any exercise and walk because due to fever my body does not work properly. I have taken all the strong antibiotics (allopathic/ayurvedic) and necessary test but nothing is found there in./

I'm truly grateful to have found this MedHelp site -- and I'll be happy to share any and all thoughts or experiences that might help someone else.

Thanks.
Regards

Hello; My thermometer does not show more than 97 to 98.4 degrees at any time. But I still suffer from feeling hot all over sometimes not in the feet and hands which is very cold but only the body. Sometimes the other way round. Lasts for several months. Comes every evening or afternoon and lasts for the entire night early morning still hot upon waking up. The exhaustion is excruciating. Changed two thermometers still does not show temperature but body is piping hot! very fatigued all the time. HELP. Stopped lepitor and all the vitamins etc for 3 days no improvement.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since you have diabetes, polycystic ovary as the cause of fever should be investigated. It can also be due to hormonal imbalance and PID (pelvic inflammatory disease).
Recurrent or chronic fever is seen in tuberculosis, hepatitis, SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and other auto immune disorders, UTI, drug fever, sinusitis, glandular fever, otitis media, IBS, HIV, STDs, endocarditis, parasitic infestations (like malaria), fungal infections, lymphomas and other cancers etc. It can even be due to uncontrolled diabetes and hyperthyroidism.
Please discuss with your treating doctor.
Take care!

Have you ever had a lupus test done?  A couple of the symptoms of lupus are low grade fever and exhaustion.

If you are able to get a lupus test done, I suggest that you spend some time out in the sun prior to your test - as close to your testing time as possible.  In people with lupus, this sun exposure can raise the levels in your blood, making it easier to detect through the blood test.  It may make it easier to get a diagnosis.

Best of luck and please let us know how you make out.

Hi, is it possible to get low grade fevers (99.5) with allergies and/or sinusitis
If it is sinusitis you should really call your Dr. so they can get you on some antibiotics.

Let me know what your Dr. says!
