    Lack of fever during acute infections

    I agree with some other comments above that this largely depends on what kind of infection you have. I'm not sure it is a good idea to try to quantify this in percentages. Most often people will get the common cold probably (at least up to the past few years), which doesn't induce fever so much...

I had no fever at all during glandular fever (which was my trigger), even though I had a whole range of other symptoms, including some less common ones, like the swollen eyelids that even obscured my vision one morning. My lymph nodes were so swollen that...

    Was there a gap between trigger and onset of your ME/CFS?

    Mine started with EBV, I had no health issues before. I was ill with mono for 3 weeks. I still tried to live a normal life during the first week (even tried to work out) but it just got worse and worse, so eventually I had to stay in until I "recovered" because I was too ill.
