It could be from the long-term fever (or infection someplace that they haven't figured out yet) .. that is enough to wear anybody down .. it is high enough to feel its affect and since it must be coming from something not agreeing with your body I bet it is distracting your body in the "mind" dept., too if you see changes in concentration. They say that long-term pain causes stuff like this to occur as it zaps the body of its ability to cope like before.
When do you get the test results back?

This comes and goes for me after the surgery (4 weeks post op tomorrow!) I felt bad enough that I couldn't go to school today. I felt fine the first couple of weeks but at that two weeks mark I couldn't sleep and was a wreck. By the third week I felt like I had hit a brick wall or like my husband says a brick wall fell on me! It has been on again and off again since then. I went back for my labs last wednesday and will go back to the doc for increase or whatever this wednesday. I have been having problems concentrating...I forget things and can't carry on a conversation unless I concentrate really hard on my words. Having a fever on top of that is probably compounding the problems.
Hope you feel better

The doctors office called yesterday and said the labs were " all over the place" Counts that should be high were low.... and vise versa. Then she said "urine was fine and chest xray was good......you have a pretty good infection somewhere". OH REALLY?? Gee what an idea. If only they had listen to me two weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!
they finally put me on an antibiotic so I should be a LOT better here in a day or two.
Doesn't that just tick you off!!!!??????
Take care and hope you get better soon.
