Body temperature

[Guest guest]

,

Happy New Year!

Re body temperature, I was hyperT and have been recovered for over a year (as

I have posted here before), and have always had a low body temperature,

usually below 97 degrees. My sister and mother also have low temperatures,

and both have normal thyroids. I believe that baseline body temperature

varies in the individual (or in families), and may not be related to thyroid

function. What might be relevant, however, is a person w/hyper or hypoT whose

normal baseline temperature has gone up or down. In other words, if your

normal temperature is 97 degrees, and suddenly you have a daily temperature of

98.6, perhaps something is amiss (either w/the thryoid, or some other bodily

function).

: My body temp. has been below normal since my teen years - maybe before.

I was diagnosed with Graves in 1994 and my body temp. is still below normal.

It does not seem to have interferred with my energy levels. Hope this info is

helpful to you. Thanks for all your hard work.

Hi J,

My normal temp runs low..96.0 - 97.0 F. You raise intersting points about

the health care community being ignorant to yeast- related illnesses. I had

to go to an Allergy/Immunologist to finally get some help after 3

Gastrointestinal doctors confirmed I had Crohns, IBS and barretts Espohagus

from scope tests. I asked them why my GI tract was so phoeey and they all

were clueless. The Allergyu/Immun guy asked me right off the bat about

anti-biotic treatments etc and put it together.

What does AFAKL stand for? and by the way, I has noticed when speaking to

regular General practioner doctors, if you refer to the Yeast problem as

FUNGAL IMBALANCE in Intestines rather then candida, they seem to respond much

more open-mindedly. I think the over saturation Candida received in the

press a few years ago has made the Dr.s think we are just blaming everything

we have on Candida without cause because we read about it in some womens

magazine.

Take care,

Dawn :-)

Molokai,

I want to congratulate you for how much improvement you've made in your

health with your dedication to cleansing and natural healing methods! I do

believe the body is first and foremost a healing machine and with enough

persistence, miracles do truly happen!

I tried to get well without hormones for about 20 years. I thought I was

doing well in many ways, too. But then I would have relapses. I tried

cleanses, supplements, homeopathy, allergy clearings, emotional freedom work.

It wasn't until I found the 's Thyroid Syndrome (which is a reversable

condition, BTW) and got started on medicine that I realized how far down I

had gone and how much I needed more help than I had been getting from natural

healing programs.

I do think it is likely possible to heal yourself of hypothyroidism

" naturally " but this particular condition makes for a long slog and you have

to be very, very dedicated. With a family and work and a desire to do more

than just cleanse, watch my diet or stay in a quiet room, I found i needed

the extra help of medicine. I wanted to do more with my life while I still

had " daylight, " so to speak, than focus so extremely on my health. Not that

a person can't do that--I admire your efforts and willingness to dedicate

yourself to that task. But for me, the timed-release T3 I'm on now is making

my healing journey faster, more efficient and much more pleasant. Since WTS

is a reversable condition in most patients, even though i'm 52, I hold out

hope that I will one day be off the medicine totally.

Good luck,

in LA

Thank you for all this interesting information. I

have a question, though. Is there anybody with

hypothyroidism,

who is trying to get well without hormones?

Ever since I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I have

tried to avoid taking hormones. Sometimes, I believe

that I have actually recovered and then I have days

with low BBT (96.6), a lack of energy, memory, etc.

My hair is thicker again and my weight is nicely under

control, but there are these bad days and I wonder if

anybody has any new ideas on how to get well without

hormones...

I have written to this group about Thytrophin, Maca,

iodine and my new diet. Now I am taking L-Tyrosin...

I did all the cleansings, recommended by Dr. ,

had 6 teeth extracted and felt much better

afterwards... everything helps, but I still hope that

there may be something that will raise my BBT and give

me more energy constantly... Maybe I ask for too much,

too soon, but reading Dr. 's book, I understand

and believe that I should be able to cure myself... or

maybe my body has gone through too much in the past:

starvation, rape, typhoid fever, dysentery, etc. etc.

and I cannot get healthier and should just be happy

that I am alive...

You should just be happy there is such a thing as thyroid hormone! It is

such a wonderful thing (I am talking about Armour here). I lived 52 years

without thyroid hormone and life was so very sad and difficult and the

struggle was so unnecessary. It is only now that I realize how sick I was

and what might have been. So get the medicine and start living up to your

full potential.

you are undertreated or on the wrong medicine. Try to make your doctor

understand or find a better one.

[Guest guest]

yeah i get that too. Burning as if they are thawing from being frozen. What's up

with that anyways? And temp is always 97 orally. ANd my transit time is slow. My

bowels never seem to move fast enough or enough period regardless of fiber or

liquid intake. Everything is sluggish even a depressed mood. Could that be

liver itself or thyroid itself or overtaxed adrenals pushing my metabolic energy

to low?

Most likely you are only being half treated---you need t3 as well--

get the proper tests to find out---t3,t4, free t3, free t4 just for

starters---

HI Vicki I moderate the Natural Thyroid Hormones group on , and We

do recommend monitoring your basal temps with a mercury thermometer. OR

another way to monitor for both thyroid and adrenal is to follow the

directions and use the graphs found at www.drrind.com . Digital

thermometers are notoriously inaccurate. I find my mercury thermometers

on Ebay usually as they are not being sold in stores anymore except

maybe a few with old stock.

Hi Vicki,

I have monitored mine and low temp means possible thyroid issues. Mine was 97.3 or 97.4 almost anytime of day and yesterday it was up to 98.4. That was the first time it has been over 97.4 and I think it is because of the iodine I am taking.

Allyn

Body Temperature

I am considering the possibility of assessing my thyroid function via morning body temperature. I searched the archives, but didn't find much. Does anyone else do this? I have a lot of questions- but mainly, - Does it matter what kind of thermometer I use, and what do the readings mean? Thank you.P.S. Hi Allyn, thank you for pointing me to this very worthwhile group! Vicki

I don't measure my temperature, but one thing that I've noticed at

work is that when someone else has been sitting in my chair, I

notice that my chair is much warmer than it ever is from me

sitting on it! They are obviously generating more heat than I am..

Marc

[Guest guest]

I take my temperature often, and it is too low. That is a symptom of

hypothyroid and I'm taking natural thyroid hormone to see if that will help. I

don't know if there are other reasons why body temperature can be low

Hi Snoshoe,

I have taken my temperature on and off, once each day. It does tend to be

low not high.

Even when I have been prescribed warming teas (Chinese medicine and Sth

American herbs)

and taken cayenne pepper capsules, it still stays low. Thyroid tests say

that it is functioning correctly.

Cheers, Helen

I read somewhere that exposure to some EM/RF would result in the tying up of

certain electrolytes?/(cant remember the term) and would result in coldness. It

makes sense if it interferes with the heart and circulation that this would

occur. Peggy

Body Temperature

I was wondering if anyone here does, or has taken their temperature on

a regular to semiregular basis?

I'm betting that being exposed to various fields can alter it. I was

just recalling a number of years back, my sister, who is EI started

taking hers and writing it down almost hourly for a record for her Dr.

and it would fluctuate a lot, she tended to run a fever often.

I'm thinking we may run colder much of the time. I feel colder when I

sit at the pc for any length of time, than elsewhere it seems, and my

feet always freeze.

I seem to not have a temp. monitor anymore, but, maybe I can get one

soon, and see what happens. I think low thyroid also would show lower

temps. Just a thought.

My normal temperature has always been 95.0 or less. It's been that way ever

since I can remember long before I was ever diagnosed with PA. When I go to

dialysis they panic if I have anything over 98 because they are worried I'm

getting an infection.

Celeste

[Guest guest]

I don't know if its part of it but I always run a low temperature too. But then

I always have cold extremities too. Works out really well as a mom though.... Do

it or Ill put my ice cold hands on you!

Cheryl <bromitesgirl@...>

[Guest guest]

Mine is usually about 97.5, and I start feeling like I have a fever if it goes

up to 99.  It's been this way for a long time, well before I started having

issues with PA.  My thyroid tests are normal, but I know hypothyroid can cause

low body temp.  I'm interested to learn if others have this issue as well.

 

Opal

[Guest guest]

:  it's me with the low temp.  I've never seen it associated with PA but

I've had it for years, too - way before I developed PA.  I also have and have

had an abnormally slow heart rate:  resting is around 50 amd when I was in the

recovery room after knee replacement surgery, it went down to 32 and the nurses

were freaking out until I told them not worry - it was probably just my " normal "

at work.  Anyway, the two in combination are usually a sign of thyroid problems

but I was tested for that when they ran all the blood tests that led to my PA

diagnosis (I think it's the THS test).  If you've never been tested for low

thyroid, you might want to mention the temp thing to your doctor, especially if

your heart rate is also a bit slow and/or you have a weight problem - which is

also a symptom of mine.  I think all three have been with me all my life because

I seem to remember having a thyroid test when I was in about 8th grade. 

 Joanna Hoelscher

[Guest guest]

Good to know there are so many of us out there with these abnormally low temps -

but we all, if I recall, seem to be female.  If I'm correct, that's kind of

interesting in and of itself.

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanna!

I was tested for thyroid a bunch of times growing up because I was always

overweight. Every so often in adulthood too. They always say it's normal.

A friend of mine said that after seeing thyroid discussed on OPRAH, she told her

doctor and he gave her a different test for thyroid. A 24 hr. test or

something? Anyway, even though hers always said normal on the regular test, the

new one showed a problem. Have you had this done or know anything about it?

The symptoms are so similar to PA that I wondered if the doctor would even do

it. My fatigue is almost unbearable at times and I too am quite overweight.

Thanks, you are always a lot of help.
