clairc Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Hi!For those of you who have temperature regulation problems, do you get a fever after being cold?I've just been to the GP. The window was open in the waiting room and I got quite chilly, despite keeping my coat on. I was shivering by the time the doctor saw me and when she took my temperature she said I had a fever. This lead to her diagnosing an infection and prescribing antibiotics.When I got home and was comfortably warm I took my temperature and it was normal. An hour later I felt a bit shivery again and it was slightly raised but no where near what the doctor said it was.Could an overcompensation of my temperature regulation have temporarily spiked a fever?This isn't the first time I've had this problem. I spent a day at a friends house. We were in the kitchen and she had the back door open all day and I got quite chilly. On the way home I started to feel ill and the next 24 hours I spiked a high fever. I had a severe headache and my body hurt all over but I didn't have any other signs of infection. After 24 hours my temp went back to normal and I felt fine.Is this part of dysautonomia or am I just weird?TIA!Clair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christy_D Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 My son does the opposite. His temperature drops to 93 to 95 degrees and he insists he is burning up. He is very cold to touch as well. So my guess is, the opposite can occur.Christy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppylove Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Yes this happens to me but usually I just get a slight fever, like no higher than 100. After I warm up I feel better again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaphylaxing Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 For me it can and is why everyone thought I had an infection at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batik Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Oh, is that why I keep getting told I have a fever when I collapse? I should take my temperature more often and see if there's a pattern. I suspect there are a good few rounds of antibiotics I never needed to be on.

leydengs Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 Oh yah I can be freezing cold (wrapped in blankets, gloves etc in the summer) and then all the sudden I feel beads of sweat forming all over and I kind of panic and feel like if I don't cool down soon I'm going to pass out!!
