What Causes On And Off Low Grade Fever Along With Dizziness And Tiredness?

Hi I've been having these low grade fevers on and off for at least 6 months now. I don't get them everyday and when I do have them, they aren't always present the whole day either! They range from 99.5 -101 degrees. When they started, I would get them a few days before my period so I thought it was just a weird hormonal thing. In august they even stuck around for over a week and I thought I might be pregnant, but it turned out I wasn't. Also my periods are very regular and I haven't had any problems in that arena. However, now it happens randomly, and every few weeks, and a few days at a time. My temp has been in the high 99 degrees range for the last three days now. The only other symptoms I've had are just some dizziness/disorientation and tiredness when I HAVE the fevers. Other than that, nothing out of the ordinary. I don't have a primary doc and to be honest I didn't want to make an appointment because I was afraid I would just be wasting their time. If the fevers get higher I'll definitely go in, but for now, I guess I'm just asking for an opinion :) THANK YOU!

hi,
What you seem to be having are classical symptoms of PMS. Dont think its just a mood thing, PMS also presents as a low grade fever just before your periods with/without night sweats. Also aches, fatigue , general annoyance are also symptoms.
What can you do???
Avoid coffee, alcohol,spicy foods during this time.
Have food that is wholegrain and plenty of fruits and juices.
Exercise if possible and avoid stress.

It rectifies itself with time . Some success has been reported with people sipping on water that has (ginger+cumin+honey) boiled through the day in it but i would leave that to you as I am not an alternative medicine doctor.

Please get back to me if you have any further queries. I would be happy to help.
