I am at my worst in the summertime. I know from reading other people's stories that it is the cold that gets to them usually. By I am the opposite. I love the cold. It is any kind of heat that I can't handle. Because too for me it isn't just the pain but all these weird symptoms I get. And not so weird like being sensitive to heat. But things like spiking a high fever with activity. I think something in my body that controls my temperature is off. It can be in cooler weather outside, even in the wintertime, and If I start working around the house especially, if I get too warm which is super easy for me to do my face flushes, and I start sweating like crazy. Like I have been running marathons or something. And if I don't sit down right away and get cooler, I get a temperature that can go up to 102. My normal temp is actually low around 97. The temperature thing was one of those strange symptoms that I didn't understand and no doctor I think believed me. I stopped bringing things up to my doctors a long time ago because of how they act. But I have been tracking my temps for a while now and what brings them up. And it is activity or high anxiety or stress. But always activity if it is too much and if it is something where I bring my head towards the ground such as mopping or something. With the fever, I also feel sick and dizzy and usually start getting what feels like a heat headache. I finally found something on the web that talks about it. It is a real thing! This blew me away. I was so relieved. But there is hardly anything about it out there. I can't think of the name at the moment.

I am SURE it IS real! I get a "flu" feeling when I over exert myself. After 30 years I figured out (with the help of this group) I was having an "inflammatory" reaction. After 30 years! I am now taking Zazzee Tart Cherry capsules (which someone here recommended). It quells the inflammatory reaction from high uric acid (gout.) the somewhat lazy doctors always attributed my inflammation to Osteo Arthritis because I have so much of it. It was the easy answer to them. Keep on and never give up. Someone will listen. Bring them the information. That is what I do, and my primary doctor steps aside and orders the confirming tests I ask for! (she's too overworked to want to challenge much and is happy to refer me over to the specialists when appropriate).
