Question: My body temps are all over the place, from 92 to 97. Feel better for awhile, then relapse. No nausea, just occasional dizziness, that comes and goes, accompanied by a drop in my body temperature. I've had it for several days. Hot liquids seem to help, along with exercise.

Let me give you more details. Four years ago, I had these same symptoms, that lasted for about a week, and then disappeared. I had night sweats and very low body temperatures, as low as 92 degrees, accompanied by dizziness. The same thing is happening again. My temperature has begun to normalize, just like the last time, and now is running at 97 to 98. Between these two attacks, I've been extremely healthy, with the strength and endurance of a much younger man. I'm 5 foot ten, with a 31 inch waist, a 44 inch chest, and weigh 170 lbs.. My blood pressure is normal and I'm certainly not anemic. I run 50 yard wind sprints up a 40 foot tall hill, so my heart is very strong. I'm very energetic and rarely tired, even after doing hard physical work. I expect to be well in a day or two, just like last time, since I seem to be improving each day. I went to a doctor, after the first attack, and he said I was extremely healthy, with no problems. I live in rather primitive conditions, and wonder if this could be caused by a severe bacterial infection, that I picked up. That's the only medical problem, that I have heard of, that can cause that much of a drop in body temperatures. Waiting for your reply.

Thanks for the follow up info. I talked to my old retired doctor, he's 84, and he said pretty much the same thing. He told me to consume hot liquids and dress warmly. He recommended 2 grams of vitamin c, every two hours, and a half teaspoon of cayenne, every four hours, along with a half teaspoon of baking soda, twice a day, to alkalize my body. It has helped, no night sweats the last two nights, and my temp was 97.5, when I got up this morning, and no dizziness. He told me to get my kidney function checked, since this kind of infection is hard on them. He said the cayenne raises my body temperature, and drives out the bacteria, that lingers in the body. It's old school, but it worked. What do you think of his recommendations, and do you have any other suggestions? Waiting for your reply.
