What Causes Terrible Headache And Low Grade Fever?

I started the HCG diet drops and eating like crazy last Thursday...I started the 500 calorie diet on Monday. All has been well until I woke up last night with a terrible headache and a low grade fever. I have been staying very hydrated and have experienced the headache and leg cramp on previous rounds of the diet. This morning I have a sore throat and ear, a terrible relentless headache and have had fever the chills and horrible body aches all day long. I have been taking ibuprofen every 4 hours to make through the day at work and feel terrible right now as my fever is returning. Another conundrum is that I have not run a temperature during my adulthood until last night. My normal basil body temp is about 95.7. I have thyroid disease and treat it with armor thyroid.

Hi.

I feel for you but the regime you are following is totally unscientific.

Starting with 500 calories and consistently following this will cause you starve like conditions and headache, fever seem to be associated with that.

Taking brufen every 4 hrs is yet another thing inviting side effects.

If I were your doctor, I would straightway instruct you to use Giloy ( Tinospira cordifolia) herb in any form plus extract of holy basil and Sudershan Ghan Satv vati to do away with all your symptoms in short time and that too without side effects.

This will also not increase Wt.

Hope it gives you good guidance.
