What Causes Fever, Hot Flashes And Neck Pain?

I took lots hot baths with ginger root 1 cup, apple cider vinegar 1 cup braggs with mother, and 3/4 cup epsom salt. I did this at least once a day (max was three times one day) Stayed in min of 30 minutes each time for 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. My body began to have hot flashes for quite awhile. I'm just kept getting sicker and sicker while doing the baths. So I stopped but still not well. My body temp drops to 96.8 - 97.3 never much higher than this. I used to be 98.5 average always. My feet are like ice now for last couple months or so. I cannot sleep through the night. I wake up often. Never had problems sleeping. I've always been the type of person who could sleep 12 hrs a day not anymore. Now I'm lucky to get a couple hours of straight sleep. :( I'm exhasuted. If my body begins to feel hot my upper back and my neck hurt really bad. What can i do to feel better? Do I have any sort permanent damage? I have 5 lil kids I want to be well again.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. Following all the changes and the onset of this pain, I am of the thinking that it is most likely associated with the dietary changes you made. My advise would be that you stop them and monitor your health again. Temperatures of 96-97 are normal and you shouldn't get bothered by this. If things do not get better within the next two weeks, please seek further evaluation but would be very unlikely that you sustained a permanent damage.


I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
