FEVER

The following symptoms have been approved and agreed upon by the powers that be.  What I want to know is why fever is not among them.  I had a low grade fever off & on for a month last time and I knew it was back when my fever hit 102 for a week and a half at the end of August.  Gilda talked about her fevers in her book.  Has anyone else had this as a symptom?
THESE ARE LAME
bloating,pelvic or abdominal pain, trouble eating or feeling full quickly, urinary symptoms, such as urgent or frequent feelings of needing to go

No fever, I am always cold.  I did have urinary tract infections and an infections diarrhea.  Janalene, how was your report did your Dr. call yet?

I had all the same except the heavy cycles.  I went through menopause summer of 05 and it only lasted 3 months.  That is when I first thought I had a hernia and didn't do anything about it.  I'm 5'4", 103 lbs and can lift heavy things like a dock worker.  Looking back on it I know that is when it started. I felt a pea size lump that didn't feel right in my stomach area but ignored it.  Then the fever thing in 06 and the cramping, achy restless thing got worse.  Have your Dr try you on Requip or Mirapex for RLS.  Requip is cheaper although still brand name.  The severe pain in my back/hip area was so bad I was crying.  Hang in there, you will get to the bottom of it.

i am in the process of trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with me.  I am 39 alomost 40 and for about 7 months now i have two full heavy cycles a month.  I run a low grade to normal temp all the time even when its normal my skin feels hot.  i have had a pap and it was ok i just had a biospy and I am waiting for the results on that.   I have cramping off and on some pretty bad and back aches as well.  now my legs get restless and crampy alot when i go to bed.  its just one thing after another with no answers.  I trust and love my doctor so i know we will get to the bottom of this but in the mean time I am concerned somethings not right.

I kept a fever for about two months straight at one point.  I wasn't diagnosed until about 6 months later, but it's because I didn't put two and two together and go get checked out at the time.  I have often wondered if it was a symptom, and have asked others diagnosed with OvCa if they ever experienced it.  I got a wide variety of answers.  Mine would mainly appear in the evenings and would top out around 100-101.

I assumed my month long fever (March 07) was flux in weather, everybody had some cold/flu thing that would not go away etc.  Was not DX until Sept 07.  I was stubborn, I thought that pain in my gut was "just" a hernia.  The pain got so bad I finally went to the Dr.  Hang in there, but don't let anybody put you off. Have every test you can.  You know your body best so do what you have to do.
