I've had persistent low-grade (99.5-100.3) fevers for over a month now. I've also been getting headaches on a regular basis and increased neck pain. I say neck pain because this is such a mystery to me and I've considered the possibility of meningitis (which includes neck pain) but I think I would have much higher fevers. And I already have cervical spine issues, so that pain may be due to that long-standing issue. I'm just looking for answers.


I'm only just going to see my doctor today. Despite the fact that I work in medicine, I'm bad about seeing doctors and I had thought that this would resolve on its own. The fevers are slowly getting higher and I'm feeling increasingly more run down.


I also need an EKG. When I had a car accident a couple of months ago, I came in with chest pain which turned out to be broken ribs, but they did an EKG just in case. It was normal in the context of possible damage from the accident, but it was abnormal in that the ST wave was flat. The doctor said I needed to follow-up with my PCP and of course I haven't yet, but will bring it up today. My psychiatrist actually said it was due to the Abilify and just needs to be monitored.


The thing is, these persistent fevers and headaches and feeling run down are starting to make me feel mildly depressed and I'm afraid that, if I don't get answers and/or relief, I will get more and more depressed.
