Re: low body temp??

[Guest guest]

My suggestion is keep the antibiotics going and if things don't improve in a a few days, call. In my experience, now, it takes the antibiotics quite awhile to kick in and even longer to kick the infection. It used to only take 2 days to notice a difference and a total of 10 days to kick it. Now, it takes 4-5 days to notice a difference and typically 17-21 to knock it out.

My normal body temp is 97.2 and has been for years. When my temp hits 99 I feel like I've been hit by a Mac truck, however, this past year I have had several episodes of my body temp decreasing while fighting cholangitis. My body temp got as low as 94.3 and this attack it got down to 96.3.

I hope things get better quickly and you can put some of your worries aside!

My first thing with that would be make sure the thermometer isn't broken.

When mine dropped so low I was in the ER. The nurse was going to hunt for the third thermometer when I told her my normal was 97.2. The tx team can't even tell me why I have this rock bottom reaction with body temp. My PC doc has tested my thyroid and it was fine. So, just one more strange thing to live with. I don't sweat it...literally. :-)

Was it Flagyl? I don’t know about

low body temp. I always seem to have it, but I don’t know why.

I will keep him in my prayers. Don’t

like the back pain bit.

Constant low body temp often times is a sign of hypothyroidism or possibly an adrenal issue. Just something to think about. Though I'm not sure about it being 94.7. My first thing with that would be make sure the thermometer isn't broken. But I'd definitely be checking with the doc either way, because that's a little odd to be that low. Ami wrote: Was it Flagyl?

My normal body temp is also low at 97.5. There is nothing wrong with my

thyroid. I don't think that I have ever watched for a temp that was too

low.

Maybe this low body temp is something to do with PSC??? It has been

interesting to see the responses that come in.

I have a secondary question and don't want to send another e-mail.

I just started taking Imuran a week ago. How fast does it drop your

immune system and if you do get something as simple as a

cold............is it really a big deal? I am getting a cold and just

want to make certain that it's ok. It is the time of year for colds so

I'm not sure what to think.

As always thanks for the replies.We will sit tight and watch. 's thyroid is fine, so I know that isn't it. He is cold natured, but his normal body temp is right with the norm 98.6. I just don't want him to go through that episode again like last spring. The only difference has been the lack of fever or consistent fever-just the low body temp thing-odd but ok.I have a digital read thermometer, just for these fantastic episodes-just makes reading it easier-anything to help.I appreciate the responses and will keep posted with the results.

From the time I was in my mid-teens, my normal temp was 96.8, which

meant that others looking at my chart always assumed the nurse had

written it down wrong! In the last year or so, though, I've been

running a constant low-grade fever ... generally about 99.6.

Like , I was tested (over and over!) for thyroid, but it always

comes back perfectly normal. They don't know why I have such odd temps,

but it's a fact of life for me. One difference with Mel -- I've always

sweated very heavily. Makes hot flashes even more fun! Oh, yeah!

What a comfort to know I'm not alone! I've purchased three new

thermometers since my formal diagnosis a year ago because I was

thinking each was broken. My body temperature hasn't once gone above

97 (even when I've been feeling feverish), and is usually 96.5.

Regardless of how horrible I feel, I've been told that I don't have an

infection because my temp isn't at 102!

Another question - my blood pressure tends to be low. When my body is

stressed (during procedures, post-surgery, even during labor &

delivery), my blood pressure always drops dramatically. With low BP,

care givers are more reluctant to introduce pain relievers because meds

tend to further reduce BP. I've learned now that whenever I meet a new

caregiver in the hospital, I immediately tell them about my unusual BP

tendencies (and of my allergy to cefotetan), so they'll not panic when

my blood pressure drops under situations that cause normal people to

have higher blood pressure.

Does anybody else have the same BP issues?
