re: Anyone else here have a normal low body temperature?

Who sits around taking their temperature?I take it if I have fever but I haven’t had fever in years.

quote:

---

My temp usually reads 97.4-97.8

So, when if gets up to 98.8 or so, I don't feel good

Maybe you need a new thermometer.


I hear that rectal thermometers are the most accurate to take body’s temperature.

This is true but they taste awful.

Wifes temp is usually low. Her hands and feet are always like ice, even in summer. But she says she doesnt feel cold and even today in the cold and wind, she refused to put on shoes or change from shorts.

No, but I can raise and lower my cholesterol at will.
