Experiencing weight loss, fever and night sweats.
I have lost over 10% body weight in last four months. I'm mostly skin and bones. Also low fever and night sweats. Is this a symptom of PsA ? Have an appointment with Rheumatologist next Tuesday. I've been on an elimination diet that functional Dr put me on for two months. I don't think it should be causing this drastic weight loss. I'm down to 147#s from low 160's. Don't know how to stop the loss. Any help?
Hi @gbarr01 that does sound worrisome. Maybe you should call the doctor about getting you in earlier if possible? Was the elimination diet to see if there would be less pain or swelling? I do have night sweats with my PsA. I don't have any fever with it. I hope you find some answers. Please if you are willing come back and keep us updated. Vickie W., Team Member
The diet is to eliminate sugar, grains and gluten, nightshade vegetables and starches. No pasta, rice, potatoes etc... Dairy too. Functional Dr recommended this anti-inflammatory diet to see if it helped PsA symptoms. Can't tell if it's helped yet. No doubt it's less calories and fat than what I was previously eating. The weight loss scares me the most. Afraid of lymphoma or some other cancers.
