Guest guest Posted February 4, 2002 Report Share Posted February 4, 2002 while everyone's on the subject of mentioning their body temps, I might add that I don't know my exact temp - we go by Celsius here anyway so you wouldn't understand - but I am always freezing. My partner sweats as we have the water bed up for me, while I get terrible neck and back pain from the slightest bit of cold! When I was single I would have two doonas and an electric blanket in summer.

I am O positive. I always keep the house at around 68 or cooler in the winter. My son who is also an O positive is always complaining that we live in an igloo. I can't stand a warm bedroom and I turn the heat down at night to around 60 and I never have the heat vent in my bedroom open. Don't know what this means. I don't remember if it has always been this way, but since menopause it has been. I think that after the hot flashes, my temperature control got set higher.

I've had problems with body temperature quite a bit. It's better now what with the herbs I'm taking and I do notice that my body can heat itself better but still not 100% ============ HELLO I had big issues with body temp too low (always 97 something, rarely 98) and also night sweats etc.... discovered My IRON and my B12 was WAY low (probably from being sick so long) and HIGH supplements have helped ALOT to regulate my temps ... wouldnt hurt next time at doc to have levels checked.... good luck!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 You couldn't have written this at a better time, Marcie! Had abnormal thyroid tests in 2004. Follow-up tests showed normal. Last Thurs, I got my test results. My T3 Free was very low, T4 Free low. I'm starting my natural thyroid tomorrow. I pray to God that this helps me. Have been really struggling to find something that works. Does this mean you don't have Candida? Are you eating sugar again:o)? Beth body temp Hi, everyone! I had to tell you what has been the biggest help in beating my candida issues- getting on natural thyroid so my body temp is normal. My body temp was always so low and many of the candida symptoms are the same as low thyroid. All my thyroid tests were always " normal " so don't ever believe it. It is such a gift to not be itchy all the time, to have energy, to be clear-headed, to not be a bitch... I also tested weak for adrenals- visit www.adrenalfatigue.org or get the book Adrenal Fatigue by . Which came first, the weak glands or the candida? Can't say but I know that treating my glands has been miles above all the candida killing pills, no sugar, etc. Don't give up! Keep track of your body temp. Know how we are suppose to get a fever if we catch a bug? Well what fun " bugs " can have in a BELOW normal body temp. Party time! Marcie : ) " Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I, too, cannot seem to get my body temp up. It is still at around 97.0 and 96.7. I have been on LDN for 3 months now and take 60 mg of Armour thyroid. My Doc did a TSH and says I should lower my Armour thyroid......I am also taking Sea Kelp 640 mg. I still have fatigue and the low body temp and get cool easy. I live in AZ and keep my A/C at 87-88 degrees anything lower I am cold. I know I need to find an Endocrinologist that will do the right testing rather than just TSH. I just want to feel well again. I will try eating more hot foods and thank you for your comments. Wishing you all health. Alana. Can't get my body temp up Posted by: "Dr. Eliezer Ben-ph" ebjwiz@... ebjwiz Mon May 25, 2009 10:36 am (PDT) I think that the amount of Armour you taking might still be too low. Dr. Mark Starr would have you add 30 mg. every 2 weeks to one month while you monitor your symptoms. You might eat more hot foods such as peppers or cayenne or any red food. Also add more good fat into your diet so that the digestive fire can burn. (fire needs fuel) What is your body weight? Depending upon weight you might need as high as 3 grains of Armour (180 mg.)

From: cdog2780 <cdog2780 (DOT) com> Subject: Can't get my body temp up iodinegroups (DOT) com Date: Sunday, May 24, 2009, 12:20 PM I have been on iodoral for about 10 months. It has helped a lot of my hypo symptoms especially brain fog and depression. I still have eczema(fungal? ) constipation and low body temp. I can't get my temp above 97.5 no matter what I do. I am doing adrenal support (solaray),5mg dhea and armour thyroid 65mg. I take selenium and vitc. I have run out of magnesium and haven't taken it for a few weeks. I am in menopause and have had a hysterectomy due to a ovarian cyst that also had a contained small malignancy. I am cancer free now but want to stay that way. Any suggestions on the body temp? I don't feel cold usually except late at night when I am tired and my temp is 96.6. Ps I am self treating due to insurance issues and when I was tested by my doc he only did a tsh which in his view was normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Alana... It is a rare Endo that is not a slave to the TSH. Have you looked on the Armour site Physician Locator, for an Armour friendly doc? The NaturalThyroidHormone group has a Good Doc file. You might find one close to you.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Alana,I had a low TSH and I was on 4 grains of Armour and it kept getting close to zero. So when I started sleeping just an hour a night my chiropractor/GP gave me some pituatary gland support from Standard Process and I also take RNA. I went hyperthyroid so now I typically take 2 grains of thyroid. Possibly something similar would help you. I also had an acupuncture treatment that brought my temperature up in just one treatment from where you are at to 98.5 The worst part about being cold body is the enzymes don't work well in your body, taking mega digestive enzymes with each meal helps with nutrition and energy.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Have you tested her thyroid levels? How about adrenals? If they are low so are her sex hormones. Is she gluten free? Gluten aggravates hashi's and you may not make progress as long as she is eating it (if she is). Steph body temp we cannot seem to get my 17 year old daughter with hashi body temp to go up....her temp is steady at about 97.2 at the beginning of her cycle...after ovulation it will finally reach 97.8...she is currently taking 2.5 grains of armour (we will be switching to NT )..she takes 50 mg of iodoral and ATP cofactors, iron for low ferritin, B12, magnesium, selenium, vitamin D3...does this mean she should increase her armour dose ?? any advice would be great..would love to get her temps up before school starts so she can be optimal...thanks...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I'm supposed to be monitoring my body temp in the afternoon so I don't go hyperthyroid. I just started on levothyroxine last week. I finally got around to getting a thermometer and out of curiosity I took my temp this morning. It was 95.4 using my left arm pit. When I did the same thing at Dr. M's office it was 98.0. I took it this morning after getting up, showering, taking out the trash and taking my meds. It just seemed awfully low to me and huge difference from when I took it at Dr. M's office. I just took it again at work about an hour after taking it at home and it is now 96.6. What does this mean? What's crazy is that I'm always really hot and sweat profusely if I barely move. Also, my labs were technically normal even though I'm hypo with my point being I would think with the temp differences that I would be off much more on the labs. Could the temp variance be something besides thyroid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
