Chris - re: Does anyone out there have chills all the time everyday?

[Guest guest]

In the latter portion of his pre-transplant timeline, Jim absolutely did

experience this -- perhaps not constant chills, but he pretty much always

felt cold to his core. His " normal " body temperature was below the 98.6

" norm " as well. 100% of the time while home, he'd dress in sweats (even in

sunny weather). He'd even " sun " himself indoors, resting or reading the

paper sitting wherever the sun would shine through our (UV treated)

windows... anything to feel even a little less cold. His fingers were

pretty liberal with the heating thermostat on this all-electric home, too

(despite SDG & E boasting some of the nastiest energy prices America!)

After tx, back Jim went to what we'd all consider, uhh, " normal normal. "

And now we've resumed not heating our home (good thing we're Californians!)

Does anyone out there have chills all the time everyday?

I should clarify, this is usually inside the air conditioned house,

not out in the hot Georgia sun! It seems like I am always cold even

when I am not running a fever. Is this noraml with PSC? Does it mean

the disease is progressing? Just wanted to see what is typical for

everyone else.
