TJ, hon', if you have had this thing for 3 months, you need to see the doc. This is very not good.

So...how do we explain our body temp diffs to people lucky enough to have normal brains? Hmm...good one. I think I'd just explain that hydro can affect the hypothalamus, which controls body temp and other functions, and that because that can mean lower body temps for us, a 98.6 is a real fever for most of us. I had to explain that to a clinic nurse, but once I did, she got concerned and echoed my belief that taking Tylenol and chillin' out was a good idea.


Feel better!

Default How do I make people at work understand, when my temp reads normal?

I hope someday mom will take me in to the Doc and they will (both) believe me! I came home from a friends wedding tonight (after it was over) with a pain along my shunt tract very close to my reservior. Still have the pain too! It isn't bad pain though. And a few minutes after that pain started I got a headache!!!! When do I get a break?
