Feeling Great - - except for this weird 103 degree fever

<span>I just got off a two week course of minocycline when I started Cayston. They overlapped for 3 or so days. Around Day 3/4 I started to feel AMAZING. I had been 100% compliant for over 3 weeks and it was feeling awesome. Especially since I added cayston to the mix.<span>Around day 7 or so, I woke up with a low grade fever but it didn't feel like a fever. So much so that I thought my thermometer was broken and tried a second one. (I'm currently charting my cycles so I take my BDT each morning) and again it was a low 99. 5 fever.<span>I went on through the day and it spiked around 8pm or so up into the 101 range. Again, no other symptoms - not even really that chilled. I didn't feel like I had to bundle up, I wasn't flushed, I wasn't even all that tired. No aches, nothing. Even my fiance was surprised when I told him I had a fever. It was definitely not your 'classic fever.'<span>Since that day (thursday low grade all day , friday 101) I've had consistant fevers starting at 99.5 and then spiking rather quickly and LASTING super long. Even with 400 mg of iburophen. Saturday night I had two fevers going up to 103. 2 that lasted for hours! They'd break, and I'd feel great again.<span>I stopped Cayston after my 103.2 (highest) fever sunday early early AM (think 3am) so I didn't do any cayston Sunday or Monday. Sunday I felt great right up until 7 when I got that low grade, that spiked quickly into a higher fever. HOWEVER, it did not go as high. Only to 101.3. Also , within 20 minutes of iburophen it came down.<span>Monday- no fevers so far, feeling a bit tight in the chest (usually happens when I stop cayston).<span>BUT my doctors don't seem to think that it's cayston causing the fevers solely based on the fact that "less than 1% of adults experienced fevers as a symptom" --- but that half a percent had to exist. I could be that lucky half a percent right??<span>Am I crazy here? They sent me to my PCP (which is something I don't have set up yet. It hasn't been a year since my last physical so when we moved I put it on the back burner and never got around to seeing a new PCP) and after calling a few places to see if I couldn't be squeezed in as a new patient/sick patient I've given up.<span>Has anyone else had a similar symptom when first starting cayston? Did your doctors tell you it wasn't cayston? Any advice?

where are they getting the 1%. I just looked this information up for someone the other night and looked just now to make sure. 13% of patients in the trial reported pyrexia as a side effect (with TID dosing). Although, 103 is a bit high.

I have no idea where they're getting the 1%. I understand that fever is seen more so in children than adults (says so right in the packet received with cayston) I tried to do a search on google scholar and the only full study I found 43% of people tested (out of 186) reported pyrexia. Seems a little iffy that they brushed it off so easily.

Do you happen to know where you found that study? I'd love to look at it.

I was looking at the prescribing info on www.rxlist.com. Best site ever for PK information.
