Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 My temp is low too. It's always 97.something. I thought that was normal. I know 98.6 is normal, but I thought a degree below was no big deal. My kids temps are always in the 97's too, unless they have a fever, of course. I feel cold most of the time - especially my feet and hands. Do EDSers all have poor circulation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if anything ever came of this (my temp is usually around 97). , I don't know if anything came of this, but mine is low too. I just read somewhere (?) about it being a symptom of thyroid problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a family history of hypothyroidism so I think I am going to ask my dr to recheck my levels. It hasn't been done in a couple of years, and they apparently recently changed the range of levels considered to be normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
