sorry ... in the mean time cat scan said no stones but my appendix tip is enflamed. Dr said not concerned about rupture at this point.
lymph nodes seem ok (? ... to the untrained touch) and I have had low grade fever, if you can call it that even, for me is 98.5 / 99 ... my normal is low 97.6 and I don't really run a fever even with strep etc.
When your body is "invaded" by a bacteria, neutrophils tent to raise and lymphocytes, the opposite. Do you have a fever? enlarge lymph node?
