have you ever thought about ECT? I've known of people personally that it's worked for their depressions quite well, with little or no side affects and little risk involved.

If i had those symptoms i'd never know it as i'm sick most the time anyway. What you mention about your temp tho does register a cord with me. Most the time when i feel like i've got a fever and i ask someone they say i don't feel hot. Then if i go to the doctor or take my own temp it will be low as you described. Docs and nurses never have seemed concerned about my temp being low, but i've always taken note of it.

I'm interested now to know if it actually might be connected to my depressions. Another thing for me to file away in the back of my brain for later thought. Thanks! And let us know if you make any further realizations about this issue.

hugs,
jenna
