I’ve always been one to not run fevers when I’m sick. But I sweat terribly just doing any little thing and have noticed my toes are cold whenever I go outside even in my winter boots this has just started for me. Like everyone else there always seems to be other illnesses with fibro. Has anyone had their parathyroid checked? I had never heard of it but it doesn’t have anything to do with your thyroid it is 4 nodules that sit behind your thyroid and you can have up to three taken out and hope they get the right one that is causing problems some say they feel like a different person after they are taken out but of course my body that is ass backwards didn’t feel a difference. Afterwards they keep an eye on your vitamin D levels your calcium levels and your parathyroid levels and increase whatever is needed to keep them on an even keel. Read up on it and see if this could be causing any of your problems because Drs don’t usually check for this in a blood test. I see and endocrinologist for this.

That is absolutely True so many people on this Fibro Website are dealing with not just Fibromyalgia and also have other illnesses besides dealing with the ongoing symptoms of Fibromyalgia.
This also includes myself as well.
Fibromyalgia has to be a autoimmune disorder as well as a Chronic Pain disorder because I feel it affects our health in other ways.

But because there isn't enough Research done on Fibromyalgia and Doctors and Specialist are too ready to dismiss other things, always saying it's not possible.

my body temp run about 97.6 on average. i'm usually cold. i haven't had a major sickness since my fibro though. just minor sickness. but fibro can make you feel like you have the flu. and you won't run a temp. when it does.

My normal body temperature is much lower that what is considered to be normal and so is my blood pressure. But I have multiple health issues including three different auto immune diseases. I also do not produce enough red blood cells, which is a type of anemia and not anything else as I have been put through the testing for everything because of it, it is easily corrected with iron supplement and avoiding dairy and gluten

I've never gotten fevers in my life but since I've had fibro I get low grade ones.
