Och Katie what a small world. Which rig is he on? Hope you feel better soon.

Blair and Brown form real sentences but they don't mean them. Bush formed unreal sentences and he meant every word! Not sure which I prefer....

Bad dog woof. Don't frighten our Antipodean Cousins please. Nikki - he's a good dog really (*pats woof's head and gets a licked finger in the process*)

I don't think we're too far away from the Bush effect, what with the Blair Effect being immediately followed by the Brown Effect!

We need somebody with the 'Obama Effect' to lift us out of this malaise. Anyone..?

The wonders of the World Wide Web! Welcome to the discussion Nikkimax. Contributions from Australia, Singapore and Peckham too. Marvellous! I'm glad you've found help via this forum and you're feeling better. I've seen the doc and I'm on the mend too, thanks for your best wishes.

Don't believe Woof - yes, that is a photo of him, but in actual fact he is only 2'6" tall and that whiskey bottle is just a miniature. The golf ball on the tee in the background gives the game away. Nice try, Woof!

Have fun chaps and chapesses. I can't make this one I'm afraid.

I'm happy to be teased, but really I did not start this thread to get sympathy. If some of you had read my OP properly, I asked a general question about the benefits - or not - of artificially lowering body temperature if you're ill. By that, I don't mean the choice between taking a paracetomol or 'opening a window'. I wanted to open a discussion about it, 'tis all! Thanks as well to all of you who have responded to me by PM.

I agree, I would only consider temperatures above 38.6 as of real concern. In those circumstances it would be important to take steps to reduce it.

Crikey. Excellent research Minkey, thanks! That really does make a lot of sense.

Thanks Nero, although my original post was more about a question over artificially reducing body temp through medication generally, rather than me specifically. However I do take your very good point. I have already made a new appointment. Interesting suggestion SteveT! Not sure if I would consult a doc via the Internet though.... !

Hi Huguenot. Thanks for that, much appreciate your input. I will go back to the docs. To be honest, the last doc was a locum and I wasn't too impressed. Along with the antibiotics I also was prescribed medicine for an unproductive dry cough, whatever that is! I don't record my temp as you suggest, but I would consider a high temp to be from above 37.8, although I haven't had this kind of temp consistently over these last 3 weeks, just sometimes, apart from this weekend. What is your view on my original question?

Thanks Dogtor Woof. I was hoping for your take on it... and you didn't disappoint! Top advice - pretty much my usual Friday night routine, in fact (well, not, actually)!

Thanks Katie. I know others have suffered with similar symptoms of late, so I'm sure it's just something going around. I might venture back to the docs at some point tho!
