Reply to "Third week of unexplained illness. Any ideas?"

Fredrik,

I wish you the best in finding an answer on these fevers and the elevated CRP. I would agree with Scott on seeing an Internist because the "local clinic" docs tend to be lower caliber professionals who look for obvious solutions, and tend to shoo the patient out the door without a hard look. My internist is the best. Were it not for his scrupulous one hour physical exam, my thyroid cancer likely would not have been discovered in 2015 and maybe I would be pushing up daisies right now. He called it and by identifying it when he did, I was able to achieve a good result from surgery.

Don't settle for bottom of the barrel medical care. Seek a good professional. I sometimes see posts like this on this board, and I get the feeling that the poster is being shuffled around without really getting good medical care. A surprising number of people allow this to happen and are not good self advocates or proactive in seeking the best possible professionals for tricky medical issues. It's up to you to not let that happen here.
