Smile Re: Ever Expanding Waist line

Just giving my 2 cents about the weight gain/loss. If you have a low temperature, you have a low metabolism. Eating less and exercising more will not work. You can't starve yourself and and force yourself to overexercise and expect to be healthy. Context is everything. Blood sugar levels are very important too. I think that had something to do with my cancer. Here are some links that you might want to look into for starters.

Re: Ever Expanding Waist line

Juls

The dosage of childrens aspirin is 81mg. It was formulated to lower fever in infants and young children. The dosage is probably too low to lower fever in an adult. I am concerned about over the counter medicines lowering fever in people on chemo and masking a poissible infection.

They dont use aspirin in children less than 18 because of the fear of Reyes syndrome which seems to be associated with flu patients taking Aspirin.

I read somewhere that Naproxen (Aleve) will not lower the fever of a chemo patient who has an infection but will lower the fever that can be associated with having certain cancers (lymphomas I believe). Ill review this as it doesnt make sense to me but Im pretty sure it is what I read.

As far as young children and Aspirin and Reyes syndrome here is a point that may be of interest. Pepto
Bismol is basically a form of Aspirin (Bismuth Subsalicylate) and also should be avoided in young children.
