Recurrent fevers: This is a good strategy - to get more 'minds' involved in your case. ID doctors can help by considering any possible causes that could contribute to your symptoms. Fevers are the body's reaction to some kind of 'insult' -whether that's from a germ or something else, such as a rheumatologic disease. There should be some useful history that would help guide the tests and clarify your diagnosis.
