What Could Often Tiredness With Low Grade Fever Suggest?
My husband has had a low grade fever since forever. Every day around noon. He is diabetic and has DDD of the lumbar spine. No one can figure it out. All blood test are normal. We thought once he was on glucophage and vicodin, it would stop but for the last 7 years of our 10 yr marriage, he has always had this fever of 100.8 average. The only other complaint in feeling tired.
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns. Most likely tour husband has an exaggerated circadian temperature rhythm without chills, elevated pulse, or other abnormalities. The condition is called ‘Habitual hyperthermia’, a condition of unknown cause, characterized by rise of body temperatures regularly or intermittently for years, associated with fatigue.No organic cause can be found. The diagnosis is usually made only after a prolonged period of study and observation. No specific treatment is recommended.
