Hi everyone.

I guess I'll just start by providing my symptoms, a little history about myself and what tests I've recently had done if that's ok.

For the last 3-4 months...

1) Dizzy spells or "jolts" of dizziness, lightheaded.
2) Off balance in the mornings.
3) Occassional low-grade fevers of 99.2 (especially after eating dinner).
4) Pressure behind eyes.
5) Head/brain feels very spaced out and foggy all the time.
6) Left eye waters a lot.
7) Occassional bouts of fatigue, tiredness.
9) Hot flashes in the evening.
10) Nose runs, stuffiness, clear mucous, etc.

History...

GAD, GERD, IBS, Tourettes w/ head jerks, Chronic Sinusitis, Allergic Rhinitis, Deviated Septum (left side), Gastritis, Panic Disorder, Cervial Arthritis (w/bone spur), OCD, Hypochondria, Lactose Intolerance, bouts of insomnia (early awakening), etc. Former alcoholic/smoker (stopped drinking/smoking a long time ago). Took several Levaquin/Cipro many times for prostate issues. Had a few bouts of depression in my life. I tend to have a lot of weird things that happen to me during sleep or just before falling asleep (ie; "sleep starts" (loud bang/flash of light), Crazy dreams, head jolts, panic attacks, vertigo-like attack and other very strange things I can't even begin to describe.

Tests I've had done...

You name it, I've probably had it. Seriously, I'm sure I haven't had every test but I've had shoeboxes full of texsts done over the years. Recently I had a head MRI, cervical MRI, a HUGE assortment of blood tests done over several months (including some rare/unusual tests), Been to an Opthamolist, Neurologist, etc.

The low-grade fevers I have off and on for decades. I have seen many doctors and nobody seems to have a clue as to what causes them. They always seem to be worse after eating the evening meal. Here's a real-life record I kept one day of my temperature...

TEMPS - April 4, 2012
2:09PM - 99.5 degrees
2:24PM - 98.8 degrees
2:51PM - 98.8 degrees
3:14PM - 98.5 degrees
3:56PM - 98.7 degrees
4:17PM - 98.8 degrees
5:01PM - 98.4 degrees
5:35PM - 99.0 degrees
5:53PM - 98.4 degrees
6:34PM - 97.9 degrees
ATE DINNER/WAITED 15 MINUTES
7:29PM - 98.9 degrees
8:42PM - 98.1 degrees

I'm not doing vigorous workouts or anything. Mostly just sitting at the desk or doing routine things. This has been going on for as far back as I can remember.

Not sure what else to say. I guess I'd just be interested in knowing if anyone here has ever experienced any (or all) of this, if you can relate to it and just any other feedback you can provide.

Much appreciated!, BlueJay

What (if any) meds are you on?

Have you taken any meds for your symptoms? Did they help?

Have you ever been tested for Celiac disease or other autoimmune diseases?

Hi. Have you been tested for epilepsy? Epilepsy can cause weird things just as one is falling asleep. Some of the symptoms you describe could be caused by auras.

As for the low grade fevers, could be a signal of an autoimmune problem. I think it might be normal to have a higher temperature after eating. I have been known to be warmer after eating, especially if I had been low on energy because of not eating for a while. This could be a signal of blood sugar issues, e.g., glucose intolerance or diabetes. It could also explain dizziness upon getting up - you are low on blood sugar. Bouts of fatigue are also symptoms of diabetes and glucose intolerance. I presume all those blood tests checked for this, right? Have you had fasting blood tests?

Sounds like allergies but I worry that you are TOO concerned about your health. I don't think taking your temp all the time is really a good thing!!!!Try to focus on other things...hobbies, this site or whatever makes you happy.

Being obsessed in not good for you. You're alright. See a dr. and listen to waht they say.They know more.....

Trust me I probably could name a lot of stuff as well......Its not good though to focus on whats wrong though!!!
