Night sweats
Night sweats are a common symptom of Th1 disease and may be incorrectly attributed to menopause. This phenomenon may be a physiological response to a hormonal shift or a sign of autonomic neuropathy. Night sweats experienced while on the MP, indicate immunopathology and that is a good thing. See Will the MP treat paresthesia and neuropathy?
Abnormal body temperature
Th1 diseases may cause fevers or low body temperature. See temperature of a normal human body
Control of body temperature is at least partly regulated by the Thyroid Nuclear Receptors, which are profoundly affected by the runaway production of 1,25-D in the Th1 diseases. The thyroid interaction of 1,25-D is covered in my new paper, Vitamin D Discovery outpaces FDA decision making

Flushing
Skin flushing is a very good indicator of the changes in perfusion that occur as the inflammatory cytokines wax and wane. With the bald patch on my head, I used to find its temperature was the best indicator when I needed another Benicar dose.

Cold hands and feet
Cold hands and feet can be due to Th1 disease. See Raynaud's Phenomenon and Hand Pain
Feeling cold
Many folks with Th1 disease report feeling cold. This may occur when thyroid function is normal. See symptoms of hypothyroidism
Fevers
The word pyrogen, which can be traced to the Greek pyro, meaning burning or fire and gennao, meaning to make or to create, is now used as an apt description for substance that produce elevated body temperature. Pyrogens are usually bacterial products and remains or decaying products of the bacterial cell walls. Even in minimum dose, these substances induce elevated body temperature when injected into humans and animals. Pyrogens are usually high-molecular-weight substances of polymerous nature, like lipopolysacharids. Pyrogens could be either microbial or non-microbial.
