I have posted here over the years. FOr about3 years I have had periods
of intermittent fever that seems a little worse in the springtime. I
get fever aches chills and off and on night sweats. Fever goes up to
101-102. By the next day it is gone as if nothing happened. 2 years
ago I had a gallium scan, then a follow up chest ct scan. ALl normal.
I had another chest ct scan last year. Normal. Blood work has been
normal with the exception of elevated c reactive protein a few days
after a fever episode. It usually goes back to normal. I have had
blood tests for lupus, Rehumetoid srthitis, lyme disease, rocky
mountain fever. Last year I also had a negative angio converting
enzyme and LDH blood test.

I have lost 14 lbs since last year. But I have been exercise and
running for several years.

I have had a negative aids test and negative skin tb test. I also had
an allergy test last year and the only thing I was allergic to was
corn pollen.

Is there a low liklyhood I have cancer? And where does it come to the
point where you just give up and when do you keep searching for an
anwer? I have been to two internal medicine doctors and an infectious
disease doctor in my small town.

I did not have a fever since July 31 of last year until March 13 of
this year, then I had them March 13, 22, April 1,2 and 18, with a few
days in between there where I did not have a full  blown fever but I
had a 99 degree temperature and did not quite feel right. I have
several nights a week where I wake up between 1-3 in the morning
sweating. Not drenching like when I had a fever, but I can tell I had
been sweating. The thing is I am not hot. It does not happen before 1
or after 3 though.

My family is starting to think I am crazy. But it is documented at the
doctors office the fevers and the elevated c reactive protein.

I just feel beaten.

Hello,
I am NOT a doctor. I have several medical reference books. There is a
blood test mentioned in one of the books that is called "Cancinoembryonic
Antigen" CEA. The author of the book states: "The CEA serum blood test
remains the best tumor marker available as a one-test one-score indicator
of colon cancer as well as seven other types of cancer...." You appear to
have great doctors. Have you ever visited a foreign country? Have you
recently received any vaccines?

Mostly in the spring?
Do you exercise much in the winter? Do you put on winter fat?

If like most people you get a little fatter in the winter then
exercise your butt off in the spring, you could be eating something
that is storing a toxin in your fat.

When you normally eat foods that have harmful trace materials in them
they get expelled if you are doing normal activities. If you are not
doing normal activities, like most people in the winter, then these
elements and materials build up in fat cells.

Once you start exercising in the spring, you release all these toxins
into your system at much higher levels then they were when you
ingested them.

This could be from vegetables grown in a garden that had some heavy
metals in the soil, or smoking canabis that has been grown in a place
with high levels of metals in the soil. It could be well water.

It also still could be an alergic reaction to something airborn. The
doctors can't test for everything.

I hope this helps....

Thanks for your post. I tried to find the cause of the original poster's
symptoms in my 1000 page medical book. You may be correct. My guess would
be some sort of autoimmume disorder. They have ANA Tests (Autoimmune
Assays Tests) that can help a doctor to determine if a patient has an
autoimmune disorder. I found out from the medical book some information
about "infectious mononucleosis" that I did not know. The author of the
book stated that most people recover from it in 10 days to 6 months. He
also stated that "few patients experience a chronic form of infectious
mononucleosis that persists for months or years." I also read about the
two types of meningitis. However, it's possible that the poster's problems
may be caused by a weak immune system instead of any major disorder or
disease. I hope that this is the case since those disorders that I
mentioned in this post cause so many more medical problems than a weak
immune system would cause. If you know the symptoms of heavy metal
poisonings, please post the symptoms of that disorder. I am not a doctor.

Don,

Print this up http://rope.nworcc.on.ca/fever.asp
I am not going to repeat myself so follow the instructions carefully.

Make sure you've got adequate health insurance in case you do get a
diagnosis, whatever that might be.

Call a Mayo clinic closest to you for an appointment for a complete
physical, an assessment and investigations.

Take that printout and ask them to investigate for everything listed
there.
In addition, ask them to investigate you for  (all) autoimmune diseases.
Check your kidneys.  Lupus can sometimes be ANA negative or so I hear.
(do not bother the lupus newsgroup - they cannot diagnose you - only a
doctor can do so).
In addition, ask them to investigate you for head and neck cancers.
And (as them to check you for) any infections; even if rare.
(ask them to ) Make sure there's no infections in your sinuses, as well.

If you want to save money and time, get your teeth properly checked
yourself, locally.

And leukemias, lymphomas, or whatever else may involve a fever.
And ask if you might have gall stones/infection or a diseased gallbladder
causing fevers.
And ask to make sure a hemoatologist is at the meeting and has reviewed
your prior tests.
Take the results of all your previous tests.
Take letters of any of your investigations, procedures done, like
colonoscopies and bloodwork results (etc).
Take letters, by physicians, of all your diagnoses. (heart?), condition of
your bowels? (etc)
If you can get a copy of your whole medical file, get it.
Make a list of every physician you've ever been seen by (and their phone
numbers).
Take a list (or bottles - containers) of every medication, supplement etc
that you are taking or have taken.
Take photos of where you live (indoors and outdoors) and the garage and
nearby fields or factories, or highways, if applicable.
Take photos and a list of health conditions your wife or kids have been
diagnosed with.
When you call them, ask them if they want you to forward this information
ahead of time, so the doctor(s) can thoroughly go through it and
hopefully, have a plan to present you, when you go there.
Tell them you do not want to over-tested, but you want them to thoroughly
investigate what is causing your problems.
And when you go there, take a tape recorder with you and tape the meeting
or ask for a transcription of the meeting. If they suggest tests, do it.
If after all that, they find nothing; then ask them recommendations to
help you with the fevers.

if you're still not satisfied, go here  http://www.ehcd.com/index.html
Someone I know went there, many years ago and they did many allergy tests.

They discovered that she has a rubber allergy and unable to be around
scents, colognes, perfumes and perfumed products.  (she has asthma and
uses inhalers and avoids using or being around scents).
She declined their treatments but knows now what to avoid, in her
environment.
Good luck !  Maybe one or the other will find solutions for you.
