Temperature

Re: Temperature

If you are a women over 40 you could be going through menopause. First I would

check the immune system. Some people when they have an infection run low grade

fevers. I have had a low grade temperature all my life and the doctor says it is

normal for me 97.6. My husband had a normal temperature of 99. Lots of people

with Hypothyroidism are always cold that is one of the first things my doctor

asked me. Other things to check is Heart, Glands, hormones. Hope you feel better

D999

Quick question:

I've been ill with back to back " cold's " which developed into bacterial

infection in throat, ears and one eye. Quite warm and then chills - having

to cover up.

to docs yesterday after 21 days of this. In location where doc is, my bank

is also located - as is my drugstore. I was late so I was rushing 'round -

drugstore first to drop off refill, then bank for a deposit and then to

docs. They pretty much took me right in and because of my cough and the

fact that I actually had sweat on my brow ,took my temp . It was 97!

During the last several months I've had severe chill attacks during sleep.

We keep a window open two rooms away - which blows a bit of fresh air in our

room. On cooler nights I (and my husband) are awakened by the severity of

my chills - which cause the bed to shake and me to shudder severely and

involuntarily enough so as to bite my lips and insides of my cheeks. It

takes quite a while and LOTS of 'stuff' to warm me up - i.e. - t-shirt w/

flannel pajamas, a terry robe over that, the sheet, and a feather comforter

. It takes quite a bit of time to warm up enough to stop the shakes.

Is this my thyroid or should I be looking at some other disorder?

Tks for any responses.
