Does anyone else have a body temp that is 2-3F below 98.6?

Maybe your thermometer is out of wack......is it one of those temporal scanning ones? I'm really not a fan of the home versions of that or the one you put in your ear.

I thought the 98.6 temp was bull and the actual normal temp is around 99.5. So that would put you even lower. Maybe you're becoming a zombie.

It doesn't matter.

We have a few in the house and I'm always low.

My grandpa who just passed never got above 94.6 for the last ten years he was with us. They had to put him in a bath tub to take blood. It would quagulate (sp?) at room temperature.

98.6 is average. Mine is constantly lower. I don't sweat as much as those nasty upper averagers.

Dude, 95-96 is not normal. I'd get that looked at for sure.

How tall are you? Taller people thermodynamically should have a slightly lower temp, and kids who are smaller usually have higher temps.

Coagulate

And I'm usually 1-2° below average. Very low blood pressure, too.

Gotta love seeing a spelling call out from the guy who just started the "What if all these missing women are serial killer" thread.

this morning, mine was 97.8, then when I got to the doctor's office about two hours later, it was 98.4. She didn't say if being under was abnormal or not.
