What Causes Feverish, Dizziness And Confusion While Having Elevated RBC Follate?

Lately I have been experiencing feverish conditions. The inside of my body feels like a high fever but my skin feels just warmer than normal. I took my temp and it was 101.9. I have several other symptoms including extreme lethargy ( have trouble stating awake all day), confusion, forgetfulness and the one that bothers me the most is the dizziness. When my eyes move, I feel like there are tails following slowly behind. I had a hysterectomy in 1996. Thought that I was B12 Deficient, but did labs and it came back 904. My RBC Folate Result was elevated to 1022. Have any ideas?

Hi i did review your condition.
High red blood cell folate is seen in few conditions like obesity, vitamin B12 deficiency, blind loop syndrome and some other. I would advice you to consult a doctor and get yourself analyzed for the fever and confusion that you have been having. the best initial tests would be complete blood count, liver function tests, kidney function test, and thyroid function tests as well as serum electrolytes.
Then we will probably know the cause of your fever or atleast know in which direction to move forward.
I hope this helps
Wish you a very healthy life ahead.
