I have had a low grade fever ( 99.3 - 99.5 ) daily ever since starting back on Doxy and then adding in Parastroy.

Is it safe to ride this out? Keep going?

I'm not hurting myself, am I?

I can handle it if it's not gonna slow cook my insides.

Thoughts and opinions are welcomed [Smile]

I've run a low grade fever around 99.5-101 almost every day since October of last year. I just started treatment so I'm hoping I'll run a normal temp again someday!

I was told it means your body is recognizing infection and fighting it. Your immune system is working!

Yeah, you're okay, If it's a low fever like that, you're not in danger of burning your insides up. [Smile]

Yes you are fine physically although you may feel a little worse. I ran a fever of 99.4 to 101.5 daily and finally for 4 years and got my normal body temperature of 97.2 back just 6 months ago.

The only problem with running a fever is that you will get chills and sweats, be more fatigued, and more achy. Most likely this will pass when the herx (cytokine) reaction dies down.

Take care,
Lindsay
