Hi Elaine,

I was reading with interest the groups last few posts about low body

temperature. I have always had a low temperature, and I don't know if

this is the rp. It is still low, even now. And I am always feeling

cold, even when I have a temperature. I very rarely feel hot. I think

my highest temperature was 106, when I was in the hospital, and they

did the ice bath thing. Luckily, I was really out of it.

Hi le,

You make the thriteenth in the group.

Thanks for letting us know. Seems like it's a very common thing in the group for something that is supposed to be uncommon.

Thanks Angie,

You're number 14! It seems that alot of us had low body temp, but now run about 98-99 since the RP. Very interesting I say.

Elaine

Re: Digest Number 1967

My boody temp is usually 97. something but I always run a low grade fever, usually 99.2 or 99.4 anything higher than that for me is a full blown fever love, hugs and hope Angie DISCLAIMER!!WE ARE NOT MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, THEREFORE ANY INFORMATION THAT IS RECEIVED HERE IS FROM EXPERIENCE ONLY.

Is there anything else that you do for your

breathing problems?

Cathy, I've been on methotrexate for 2 months now

and even though I can't say that I'm improved

(because I'm not--I still feel out of breath

after 1.5 blocks) I get these crazy lapses of

normality. I'll be doing something, like walking

or even reading a book and I'll get this feeling

like I'm absolutely normal again. They last only

for a few seconds. Compared to how I've been

feeling since April when my throat problems

started, these lapses have been a great welcome!

so aside from the meds (still on Prednisone too),

I've been on the aggressive the last few weeks as

far as getting tests done: breathing tests,

pulmonary tests, & CT scan. Last week I had a

sleep study done and hopefully will get a CPAP

machine to improve my breathing. Is your father

getting any pulmonary type testing done? What

kind?

Oh, BTW, my CT scan showed that my throat isn't

as bad as they thought, so a stent isn't my only

option. Thank God!

Everyone: I am still getting these nasty

headaches (off and on all last week) and feeling

really achy. I can't take aspirin as it will

react with my NSAID. My usually-normal blood

pressure has been high for the past 2-3 wks so

now I'm on Dyazide (a diuretic--and already I'm

seeing my face is less puffy!). My teeth are

still sensitive and I feel, along with the

headaches, that I'm reaching a breaking point

dealing with all this pain!!!!

I used to take Vioxx but quit about 2 wks ago

(because of the hoopla) and I'm trying out

Relafen (not as longlasting as vioxx). I'm really

tempted to go back on vioxx, at least it took

care of the regular aches and pains. I now wake

up in the mornings coughing like crazy, in pain

because my chest wall/ribs hurt from the RP.

I know we talked about teeth pain before and pain

in general. I'm venting, but I'm also asking for

suggestions, if anyone has any. It seems that

lately, I've taken 5 steps forward only to be

pushed into taking 3 steps back.

It's so frustrating.

When choosing the lesser of two evils,

I always like the one I haven't tried.
