(I mean, how did they get through medical school; isn't Fever 101 a required course?)<br /><br />I hope it either disappears as mysteriously as it began or that you find a caring doctor who gets to the bottom of it and can treat it. In the meantime do aspirin or ibuprofen bring some relief?

Fever! Low fever, of the 100.4+ variety, plagues me. I have yet to find a doctor who has any ideas or who expresses any real concern for these frequent fevers (several a week).<br /><br />Sweating profusely during the fevers seems to cause dehydration and intensified muscle spasticity, and I feel like my eyes are boiling. I don't even care if the fevers have any particular indication, but I do care how much they can throw off a fragile balance.

Many of her problems have come and gone without ever being deciphered by the medicos. <br /><br />So I still hope that's what will happen with these fevers.

Sometimes I wonder if it was the lasting effects of those early vaccinations and then steroids that screwed up her immune system. Strangely, though, she STOPS seizing during high fevers. <br /><br />I sure hope C gets back to some seizure free days.<br /><br />Knock on wood, one two three!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
