 If this is decreasing performance status is there any punctuation following?

 Thanks Performance status
 Subject: Performance status
 
 Since the word "status" means "with" the sentence would read, decreasing performance with nausea, diarrhea....  You wouldn't put a comma before with.  It would be bad grammar, IMHO.  :-)

 I'm not in any way picking on you, but somebody below asked how to look up words when you're not sure what they are. Since you knew it was some kind of fork, you could have looked up "fork" in the MPI and it lists 7 different medical forks, and you would have been able to deduce 'tuning fork' from this since you had a soundalike. I learned more new words from this reference book than anything else.
