Re: Re: Another cholangitis post (sorry): Tim

[Guest guest]

Tim, i did send my e-mail on the subject before going

back and reading more e-mails, including yours.

I probably agree with your theory on the chills/fever

and our low temperature versus others with the

standard measurement. i just wish that there would be

some kind of a formula that will help us to tell the

correct difference. Specially when giving the readings

to our doctors. This is kind of starting to worry me,

specially that i do get those chills, often specially

when i am fatigued

Thanks, Tim.
