I was just wondering if you experienced a low grade fever with Lyme. It seems to come and go but it makes me feel so crappy. Usually comes about this time of day.
Is this common?

I have had low grade fevers for at least 10 years. It usually happens in the late afternoon. If you feel bad at this time of day, take a nap. Napping really helps if at all possible.

Thank you,
I seem to have body aches pretty bad at this time too. All of my symptoms are much worse in the afternoon and evening.

I had a low grade fever for the first few years. I normally don't take my temp, but in 05 I went to a doc for a physical, they asked if I felt ok, because I had a fever. Then end of 06, at a different doctors, the same thing happened. So I may still get fevers, I'm just used to them now!
Take care, Ocean

Hi there
Same for me, had em for a long time.
When I was on the road to getting diagnosed the Doctor asked me if I got a lot of fevers, I said no! She said would you know if you had a fever? I said of course I would!
She asked how I felt that day and if I felt feverish at all, I said I felt like crap that's why I'm here! But no I don't feel feverish. She said well you have a fever of 101.8 right now.
Ha ha ha! She was very nice though and she was actually the one that diagnosed with Lyme.

Hello
I ran a fever for about 4 years now-everyday
I even found out this was all documented when I went to get my IV abx they would take my temp everyday for 9 weeks.
This is used in my Medicaid case and Disabilty Case.

I ran a low grade fever for about fifteen years. It only stopped when my thyroid problems began. Then I had a low temp, around 97.
My temp would average from 99.8 to 100.8. A couple of times it was around 101.

Low grade fever common?
Yes, usually after 4 pm and into the evening - in several articles, lyme researchers say this if frequently seen with chronic lyme.
It's actually the best time to test for any infection - if you can beat the lab deadline for prep and for Fed Ex pickup.

This book, by an ILADS member LLMD, answers lots of questions.
It holds great information about treatments options and support measures:
