Default I agree w/KMEB about the temp & Liza about the Thyroid

6 mos after my 'onset' my toes turned into swollen mini-hot dogs & the feet? well, THEY swelled up at least 3 shoe sizes - I'd been up and down the thyroid dosage scale for over 5 years...until then. Thyroid tests resulted in a 20+ mcg dose increase. Stable since then. Now with my other things happening, my docs are screening my blood w/a very fine tooth comb -more often than is the norm. It's a small comfort, I think.

As for temp- I also have a normal thats a few decimal points below the considered 'norm'. It will chug up to almost norm during the 2nd hour of IVIG. I believe that's the only time my tootsies ever feel 'normal' now.

Somebody! KNOCK WOOD QUICKLY! I'd said the words 'feel normal'!

Good thoughts and warm foot inventions to all! [gotta find them first!] - j

I have considered, but not actually done it - putting bricks in the oven and using them [wrapped of course] as old fashioned foot warmers. Has anyone tried this?
