Guest guest Posted August 5, 2000 Report Share Posted August 5, 2000 , Sudden weakness, dementia and lack of interest is usually a sign of infection (UTI, blood or pneumonia). Temperature is not a good indicator of infection in a MSA patient as their temperature normally often runs much lower than a " normal " person. It can normally (for them) be as low as 96 degrees. If he gets to where you can't handle him - don't wait to go to doctor - go to the emergency room.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 , No sign of blood in stools, but Dr. is having him have a colonoscopy to check that out. The anemia is from iron deficiency so that's one answer. Thanks for your thoughts. Weakness > > > > Hi all, Hope this goes through.
