I've always had low blood pressure. Never thought I could do much about it though. A couple of times when I went to the er for something and I was in a lot of pain, my blood pressure was between 110 or 120 over 70 something I think. I looked at hubby and we both commented, "That's high". The nurse looked at me like I was off my rocker! LOLOL It causes me a whole lot of problems though because docs and nurses see "normal" and I see "high". As a consequence, they don't believe me when I say my pain is a 8,9 or 10. *sigh*

As far as body temp goes,it's always been low too, consistent at 97.9, like yours is now EJ. I've always known I had a fever when the thermometer said 98.6. LMAO When I first got RSD, I ran a low grade temp for about a month or so. I wasn't sick or anything so I know now it was the RSD doing it. The temp was between 98.6 and 99.7. Then as mysteriously as it came, it went and I haven't had it happen again.

Is there anything that can be done about low blood pressure by the way?

Hugs,

Karen
