Symptom 7: Recurring Fevers
The body’s temperature is a fine-tuned system, and sudden spikes, especially recurring fevers, are its way of signaling a possible internal disturbance. NSHL patients often experience bouts of unexplained fevers. These aren’t tied to the usual culprits like infections or other illnesses.
The fevers related to NSHL are often intermittent. They can fluctuate between being mild to very high. The body, in its bid to fight the cancerous cells, can induce these temperature spikes as a defense mechanism.
What complicates matters is that these fevers often come and go without a clear pattern. They aren’t always responsive to over-the-counter fever reducers, making them both perplexing and frustrating.
The key takeaway is continuity and frequency. While everyone experiences fevers, noticing them occur without other apparent reasons, especially alongside other symptoms, can be a strong indicator of NSHL. (7)
