Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 I NEVER have a fever regardless of how sick I am. I can feel like death warmed over and no fever. I'm just a strange duck *lol* Re: Question janissa@... wrote: > > Sounds like it might be gastroenteritis, honey -- fancy name for a stomach > bug. We are having TONS of people in the ERs right now with this, some > with fever, some not. Interesting Em, I thought in order for it to be a bug, you had to have a temp. I got something very similar on Halloween night. Started by throwing up, then getting hot and cold, and diarrhea. The vomiting stopped after the evening, but I spent the next two weeks with very loose stools. Any time I peed, I had no control over my bowels. I thought since I didn't run a temp, it wasn't a bug. Gradually everything became normal. Darcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 Your email made me laugh! I absolutely never run a fever either. I remember being a kid in the nurses office with a fever of 99 degrees and no-one would let me go home! My temp on a normal day is in the low 97's. As well, my blood pressure is always really low! Last time I was at the hospital for a proceedure, it was 95/52 and the nurse was a bit funky with processing me along! Missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 7, 2001 Report Share Posted December 7, 2001 << I NEVER have a fever regardless of how sick I am. I can feel like death warmed over and no fever. I'm just a strange duck *lol* >> I very seldom have a fever either. My temperature runs from 96.7 to 97.6. If I hit 98, I have a temperature. Try and convince a doctor that when your temp is what is considered normal is a temp and you are sick. I seldom do run a temp even when I am very sick. Doctors just don't want to believe that you are so sick that you can hardly move with the flu, let's say, until your temp is at least 100.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Hi I take Ultram also, it really doesn't help alot just takes the edge off so I can stand it. I take Celebrex for the arthritis pain in my hands, knees and spine. You may want to see if you can try that and see if it does help. You may have arthritis also. Mine is a very mild case but the fibro makes it extremely more painful than it would normally be. I do have a question for everyone: How much trouble is the Fibro fog? My short term memory is atrocious! I can't even remember a phone number long enough to dial it! One thing I do that seems to help my congnitive brain is to play majong on the computer. It seems to help me focus correctly. Also my mind works really weird. When I type many words have the correct letters but they are either (now get this!) jumbled or completely backward like in a mirror OR this one is good, they are the correct letters IF I were to put my hands opposite than what they are on the keyboard - like my left where my right is etc. The letters would be like if I typed " set " but it will come out " ko[ " too weird huh? I spend most of my typing time fixing my words. I type " eht " all the time for " the " . Does anyone have this problem? My daughter is getting really good at reading my words as I don't fix them when we are instant messaging because it is so hard for me to type to begin with so we decided that I shouldn't fix it. Well I have rambled enough. ) AlyceAnn Hello group~ i have posted quite awhile back and read all your posts as i can but lately i had problems with my new insuraqnce co. not paying for my ultram prescription;we appealed it and again got turned down..now it's our 2nd appeal and i had to give ins. co. a list of all meds tried,side effect,etc just to get them to cover my meds still in the 2nd appeal(next i will go back on patients assistance where i am on disability and cannot afford $95.00 a month)..lol..anyhow i'm still waiting and i'd like to ask others out there if there is some soothing things one can do when fibro has severly affected the lower spine especially to a point that sitting hurts and i have to lay flat on bed..also can bearly get from a sitting position to a standing one and near scream aloud every time (now mobility is being affected too)....I know this will be with me chroniclly but for the time being i am just looking for some suggestions on soothing great pain i have til my meds are covered soon again..thanks for reading and any help is greatly appreciated and still glad to be here(ps have fms0cfs 20yrs but this is the worst it's ever been!!)

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Yes, yes & YES!! Well, to everything except the Ultram and Celebrex<g>. Ultram makes me throw up, and I don't trust the new 2 inhibitors, so won't take Celebrex or Vioxx - just stick with good old Relafen and it works pretty well. But the other stuff - the memory and especially the typing?? YES!! You don't want to know how many words I've had to correct to get this far into the email<g>. My memory is getting a bit better, but every time I have a med change, it goes south again - so I'm thinking that it's more a product of the medications than fibro-fog - or at least a combination of the two. My meds were adjusted up again last week, so I'm expecting to be pretty fogged out for at least a couple of weeks....<sigh> But the typing is constant - and it's not just typing - I do it when I'm writing too!! I wrote a note on a piece of paper to my husband a few weeks back - it was late at night, I was exhausted, and the fog was REALLLLYYY thick - when I tried to read it the next morning, it was completly illegible!! Not from bad handwriting, but because there were extra words in, things were spelled completely wrong, and I kept going off on tangents that had nothing to do with the note! It was quite bizarre, and made me glad that I've gotten in the habit of proofreading everything that I write at least twice, 'cause now I REALLY need it!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Hi Mitzi Have you had your lower back x-rayed or had a milogram or MRI? That kind of pain sounds more like a spinal problem than plain FMS. Actually, it sounds very much what I went through in the late '80's and early '90's. I eventually had surgery and after about a year of recuperation, that excruciating pain was gone. It still hurts somewhat, but never enough to cause me to take to my bed. Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2001 Report Share Posted December 9, 2001 Thanks for the suggestion Irene, but unfortunately, my email program actually doesn't have a spellchecker on it! It's an older free program (not even available anymore that I can find!)that I keep using because I like the way it works, and I don't like the newer programs - they do too many things automatically that I'd rather do manually. But the lack of a spellcheck is a downside to it. Luckily, I can usually catch most of the problems by diligent proofreading (something I wish more people would do sometimes<g>). The other problem that I have - and I'd love to know if anyone else does - is not being able to come up with the right word. It doesn't have to be a " hard " word either - it's like my mind just " forgets " words sometimes and someone either has to remind me (good thing my husband & I have been together long enough that we read each others' minds!) or I have to just sit until it comes to me - rather embarrassing sometimes during a conversation!! Or I'll do stuff like calling the refrigerator the microwave, etc. Anyone else run into this?? - (btw - I don't get offended if people point out spelling or usage mess-ups in my emails, so anyone that sees anything, feel free to write me privately and tell me about it :-) At 03:05 PM 12/9/01 EST, you wrote: >This can't help when writing but don't you have a spell check on your >computer.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Jen, I know it is a shock to see how up and out the foot is! If you go to the photos section and look in Calebs album you can see what his and his friend Edens casts looked like the day of their Tenotomies were done at the U of Iowa. It is picture #7. Also about the dorsoflexion, Calebs was not great at first and did improve in the shoes. Now his is fine. And I am always for Dr. Ponseti's opinion!!!! Who would know more than he would? Best of luck, you are in our prayers and Caleb 3-31-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
