This isn't related to your fever, but I thought I'd throw it into the mix. If you have migraines and thyroid issues, PLEASE look into the possibility of Celiac Disease/gluten sensitivity. Sometimes switching to a GF diet can relieve, if not eliminate, migraines, and it can help with thyroid issues and vitamin/mineral deficiencies as well.

People with gluten issues don't absorb all of the nutrients they are eating - going on a GF diet may allow you to go off of the HCTZ altogether after about a year. Get tested for Celiac Disease before starting a GF diet, as you will need to have a baseline reading (my husband doesn't have CD, but after following a GF diet, he realized that he IS gluten sensitive).

Check out my other posts - I haven't been on here very long, as I just got diagnosed with MG, but I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 2 years ago, so I have been doing extensive research on that subject. Our youngest daughter has Down syndrome, and she was the first person in our family to get the CD diagnosis (that's why I did so much research initially; I later realized that I needed to be tested as well).

You can go to *edit* for a LOT more information - that's the "motherlode" site for most people with Celiac Disease! Click on the section about related conditions - you'll be amazed.....

As for your fever, it could be just a summer cold. I'd give it a few more days before worrying too much about it, but if you're still concerned on Monday, by all means contact your doctor.

And gracious! Seventeen people in your house, 12 of them children? That's gotta be stressful! Be very careful not to get overly tired - you have to conserve energy with MG.
