Do these symptoms sound like thyroid dysfunction?

Hi,

I'm searching for answers here.  Has anybody experienced almost continual low grade fever, fatigue and general feeling of illness with thyroid problems?  Thanks!

Some symptoms cross over between overactive and underactive.......

Fatigue and general feeling of illness are common symptoms of low thyroid activity.  Usually with low thyroid, the body temp is low, whereas with a fever, it would be high.  

I know that fatigue and general feeling of illness are also common symptoms of both "overactive" thyroid, but not sure about the fever.

If you suspect a thyroid issue, you should talk to your doctor and get tested - TSH, FT3 and FT4 at the very least - then depending on those results, you might need further testing.

Hopefully, some who have been through the hyper might chime in on the low grade fever issue.
