Thanks! I've felt like the only person in the world who's
had his temperature drop. I think mine went below
95.0 F/35.0 C once, but at the time I wasn't in any shape
to pay close attention. Whenever I mentioned it to doctors,
it got shrugged off.
One doctor had me on prednisone for a few weeks, and it
helped somewhat. Unfortunately the doctor didn't see a reason
to pursue that (he was a combination of MD and psychiatrist,
and I was seeing him as a therapist).
