Sorry. :) By "inappropriate", I meant 'not consistent with an apparent condition'. In other words, sweating when one is not hot nor fevered, shivering when one is not cold nor shocked. My own thermostat, and those of friends with PD, are very wonky. We can sit around in 10 deg C (50 deg F) in short-sleeved shirts, in comfort, or (less often) resort to sweaters when its 25 deg C (77 deg F). This can lead to some complicated accommodations with other, non-PD members of the household, and, if unfortunate to require a hospital stay, having to convince sceptical staff that one is 'different'. How about other members of the list? Jim 59/13 [log in to unmask]
