The sudden cessation of uncontrollable shaking can have two meanings depending on whether you're warming or not. If you're not, you're not far from severe hypothermia, and the next significant event can be your heart beating essentially stopping. Take hypothermia VERY seriously. |

news:MqZed.113591$Lo6.91697@fed1read03... Very very scary. Not an experience I would have like to repeat. Good to hear you survived -- hypothermia is nothing to play around with. My experience is that being damp and the weather being in the upper 30s to lower 40s can be worse than being dry and it being below freezing. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky please substitute yahoo for mousepotato to reply Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Personal page: http://www.geocities.com/cpetersky/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |
