Is it true that when you have a fever, you grow taller? Not by inches, or anything- but a few centimeters? :confused:

Hmmm. That sounds like a question for Dietrich from Barney Miller. ;)

Could be. Just like how you grow a lil taller in your sleep- but go back to normal as the day goes on. So, yea..you never know..

*stomps foot* Yes! Now go to your room and study young lady!

Hmmm I doubt thats true I've worked with kids since I was 16 so I get SICK alot plus when I was a kid myself I got sick alot if that were true i'd be over 6 feet tall and I'M only 5'3"

well i dont get sick very often and im only 5'2''.....

but that sounds kinda weird- how would height and temp be connected? if that is true i need to be sick more.

:idea: Maybe.... we shrink!!!:eek:

I've never heard of that. I'm 5'5", and I rarely get sick, so I don't think it has any connection for me.
