RE: Help with confusion/teperature/infection links

February 17, 2002

Betty:

Pam is right. It does sound like something is going on with your husband and

needs to be on antibiotics. Most doctor's and staff don't understand about

the MSA. We really need to teach them. Fred doesn't run a fever most of the

time with a UTI ,but his has one just the same. You know your husband , what

his like. The doctor only see's him for a few minutes. It's the same thing as

when my kids were small and I'd see signs of an ear infection going on. I'd

take them to the doctor and he wouldn't fine anything, but then a day or so

later , there would be a fever and I'd take them to the doctor again. This

time the doctor would say " you were right it is the ear's " . Here we could of

had them on the meds, long before the infection got to where it was then.

Same thing here.

You be a pushy broad and get the help he needs.

Take Care Vera

Hi everyone!

My husband became very confused, thought someone was behind the car

when I left the rehab center last night. Couldn't dial the

telephone, sequencing problem, told his daughter to be careful of the

snow out there. We live in Florida.

His temperature is usually 96.2-96.4. He is running 98.8. I've

tried to tell them this. They ignore me. His white blood count is

over 22, so there's an infection somewhere, but the hospital couldn't

find it.

I need the links that discuss the " normal " temperature range for MSA,

and the fact that a temperature can cause confusion. All that stuff.

I will continue to search, but in the meantime if you folks can help

I'd appreciate it so very much!

hugs

Betty

Betty,

Get him to the ER and insist they give him antibiotics!

Hugs,

Pam
