A member asked:
Can taking too much synthroid (thyroxine) cause a persistent low grade fever (just over 100 f for months, no illness but fatigue and sleeping more than usual)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: hyperthyroidism can increase body temperature. Get your level check to see if you are indeed hyperthyroid.
