Hi all,
It's been a while since I've posted to the forum. I was received an ALS diagnosis about a month ago.
I have a question regarding fever. About two weeks ago I really overexerted myself & did way more walking than I had in a very long time. Immediately after that I developed a fever that kept spiking (initially as high as 104), then breaking & for days went from normal to around 101 every few hours. I had been over it for about a week & then yesterday sort of overdid it again during the day & that evening had a temp a little over 101, that broke last night & has been close to normal today.
Has anyone else experienced fever with overexertion? I had gone to my local doctor before & he thought it was probably viral & did not treat. I had talked to the ALS Clinic after it was already resolving & they said next time they'd want my doctor to do a CBC & some other tests, so I'll definitely follow up with them on Monday.
Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this before & what their doctor said?
I'm guessing it's probably just an infection that didn't ever quite go away from a couple weeks ago that now is coming back to bite me again, but I thought I'd check.
Thanks!
