Dear Dr. I have an elevated PSA of 43 AFTER a radical prostatectomy in 2007. I have been put on a Hormone Suppressant (Eligard 45 mg) on 14 MARCH 2015. I have no other symptoms except I run a low grade fever almost everyday that come and goes at any time of the day. I take one or two crocins and the fever goes away. I have run ALL tests possible to trace the reason for this fever but have had no luck. Could you please shed some light on why I get this fever? Thank you very much in advance.

Don' t worry about the fever and don' t suppress it. It is your body' s way of fighting infection. And infection is there - of a low grade; else there would be no fever. By fighting your immune system with Crocins to reduce the fever you are hampering your system from fighting the infection and hence the infection lurks and your thrashed immune system keeps trying to fight it until the Crocin comes along and bashes it down again. If you let me, I think I can do you some good. It will cost you a thousand bucks.
