Yeah. I was very clammy and dizzy. One minute I was freezing and the next I was sweating. It sucked.

Your right, GaGa. A virus PLUS an IBS attack, or maybe just a virus was my first thought...but they drew blood and my white count was actually low, which meant no bacteria...and probably no virus either.
What is interesting is that a fever is almost always indicative of inflammation. Could be systemic(generalized) OR local(maybe only in my gut), but inflammation never the less.
So I am wondering if maybe I may have some inflammation in my small intestines or somewhere in my body!

Dear GaGa,
Yes, this past episode I was lightheaded when I tried to stand up after the symptoms abated.
Thanks for your response. I feel more confident that I just had a bad attack that knocked the stuffing out of me. While I am very sorry to hear that others suffer the same fate, it is comforting to know that my symptoms are not unusual. I hesitate to take these symptoms to a doctor because I am afraid of being prescribed an antibiotic and I won't take it anyway (the kiss of death for an IBS patient).

I am anxious to hear your test results. I've had, seemingly, thousands of tests, but never cortisol - although I've read plenty about it. Like you - I feel sressed to the max all the time. Keep us updated. Wouldn't it be so nice to finally have an answer?? {{Hugs}}
I finally had to go back on antibiotics because of my bladder - knew there was a problem, but just let it go because of the side effects of the antibiotics. So, now I feel like I have double IBS!

Bless your heart, GaGa. You have really been through it, with your candida and IBS stuff.
I am VERY curious about my test results too. Actually BOTH my fasting insulin and my cortisol levels. I really am hoping I get an answer this time, but I am also trying HARD not to get my hopes up, because seems like whenever I do, I am just dissappointed. It is SOOOO FRUSTRATING!!
