Rises in body temperature
Been experiencing some short (1-2 minute) rises in body temp recently.
I had been taking INHi for about 5 months and also T3 therapy. Have been monitoring my temp as it is usually very low (97.2 or so) and hope that it is rising due to the T3 therapy. Or could it be the immunei cells are being scoured of Cpni and are coming on line and cleaning up?
Definitely not hot flashes (I take hormone replacement).
I had it happen 3 days in a row---took my temp and it was
98.6! I can't remember when my body temp was normal--if it ever was. I have been taking Niacini and I think that is making me feel warmer, but this began before I started taking it. Anyone else having this happen?

My temp slowly came up as was on adequate T3, similar for my daughter. I dream of 98.6!
On Wheldon/Stratton protocol for Cpni in CFSi/FMSi since December 2004.

My body temp was always around 97.8. So I considered 99+ to be a fever. I think more than a degree up from your "normal" is moving into the fever range. But this will change once your T3 levels come up and you find a new baseline. Be nice to get body temp into a range where chemistry such as enzymes and hormones functions properly!

I have just the opposite problem. I am cold all the time. Not chills--just very cold. I bundle up with sweaters and heavy socks and am still cold. The house is set at 73 degrees. My poor husband is dying from the heat but I am freezing.
Is this a common symptom?

Well, I was always 98.6 or a touch more, with plenty to share with Dianna when her hands or feet were cold. Then I started with this whole CFSi process in August of 2004, and I haven't hit anything above 97.5 since, and I've had excursions as low as 95.5, which is just about as uncomfortable as 101, but the opposite way, I guess.
There was a thread about it a few weeks back -- Raven, I think it was, recommended fresh ginger tea, which I like anyway and that helps somewhat.

Doglover- If you have CFSi (instead of other Cpni related disease), low thyroid or dysfunction in aspects of thyroid (eg not enough T3, too much reverse T3, not enough T4) are so common they are almost considered part of the disorder by many CFS docs. So far I haven't seen this correct for me on the Cpn protocol, so it may be part of the more permanent damage by the bacteria either by directly infecting the thyroid, the pituitary or the hypothalamus. Low body temp is characteristic. All this to say it's a good idea to have your thyroid assessed by a doctor who looks at more than the "standard" tests and has experience with using T3 and with CFS. You might ask your local compounding pharmacy what doctors use them for such compoundding.
Of course, the other thing that makes us feel cold is more chronic, low grade endotoxini from chronic Cpn infection. Lot's of stuff on site about how to work with this.

Thanks Jim-but I have MSi. I just had my thyroid tested-just a regular test and it was normal.
Guess I'm just gonna have to wrap up in my electric blanket. But dragging a long extension cord around is a real pain. lol
Thanks Linda
Feeling 98% well-going for 100. Very low test for Cpni. CAPi since 8-05 for Cpn/Mycoplasma P.,Lyme, Bartonella, Mold exposure,NACi,BHRT, MethyB12 FIRi Sauna. 1-18-11 begin new treatment plan with naturopath
My temp has been in the 97s for years. I take T3 to get my temp into the 98s. I am always cold. Unfortunantly my husband is warm blooded. In the winter I want the car heater on, and he wants the window rolled down.
Ultrasounds on my thyroid gland came back normal, but my windpipe- esophagus- thyroid gland (?) looks big in that area. It didn't use to be so big. For years my throat has felt constricted, and sometimes I couldn't talk. Antibioticsi helped me talk after the first two days. I wonder if I am swollen from Cpni.
If after some time I no longer need T3, this could be of interest to many people with hypothyroidism and CFSi/FMSi.
