Do you run a low body temp?

No, my temp runs normal - unless I have a fever of course, but that seldom happens as long as the Crohn's is under control.

Yes, my resting body temp is around 97.2. I'm being treated for hypothyroidism but with the thyroid hormone tablets, my tests are normal. It still runs low regardless.

 

[Trysha]

My temperature is usually around 35.5C which leads to which temperature is considered a fever....
So far any fever I’ve had has been a temperature of 38 or 39C..........

 

[Tuff]

Mine is normally 36C/96.8F or less. I keep the inside temp between 21-22C, and prefer it cooler during the night.

I run a tad cooler too just under the limit at 36.5, I wonder if it has to do with a lower metabolism.

 

[Mountaineer01]

Mine is usually in the 96.7 to 97.2 range.

My temperature now runs between 95 and 97.6, and has been as low as 94.5.

I guess the norm is not really a norm for a lot of people.

I used to have a lot of problems with mine in high school. I'd go to the clinic because I wouldn't feel good and the school nurse would immediately take my temperature. She never would listen to me when I told her it ran lower than usual. If it was 99.5 degrees, she'd still send me back to class, but that, for me, was considered a low grade fever and still is.

 

[Mountaineer01]

Fortunately, my family doctor knows something isn't right if my temperature is 99.5.

Cool thread, I run barely 97 sometimes and yep cold a lot. Ya telling ER or nurse 99 is fever always gets me looks like yep call psych lol.

Mine is slightly low, 98.5 as I last remember... even with sepsis and emergency surgery immediately ahead. I nearly died, because they only watched temperature and no bloods. I made it, and damn... I'm glad. My best to all.
