permanent temperature
Tedi:
Hi Rozitka, Im hot all the winter, i cant wear hot clothes i go out with very light clothes.
My doc once said me an explanation for this.
In thal major patients еrythrocytes dies early and this make extra enerjy in our bodies.
I dont know if i explain it right. :rolleyes :huh
Andy Battaglia:
Hi Tedi,
That is the correct explanation of why thals tend to feel hot. The break down of red blood cells, hemolysis does release more heat into the body.
PositiveVibes:
Yes, I was told the same and that is why I stop worrying about my temp around 37. Btw it is interesting that usually in the middle of the day I have this temp and when I go to bed and check it is normal - below 37. so, since I don't have any other problems, I will not deal with that temperature anymore :))
Tedi:
Yes during the day its higher, even sometimes i have something like hot waves.

hi rozitka,
my boys are the same i think their tempreture maintains at the same level (36-37).
when they were younger their pillows used to be really wet by morning but not so much now. and with the beginning of their transfusion their temps are usually that high, also throughout as the nurses keep checking every half hour. i feel this is normal for them.
