Low Temperature
by EN24, Mar 06, 2008 05:31PM
Hey everyone,
I'm sick today, so I took my temperature (expecting it to be high) and it is only 97 (it's 5 in the afternoon). Also, I was thinking about it and my temp was only 97.1 at the doctor the other day - and I had practically ran from my house to get there on time. Well, I did a little looking, and as you all probably know, low body temp is a symptom of hypothyroid (which I have). Does anyone know what the normal body temp is for hypothyroid? Should my body temperature start to increase now that I'm on the levoxyl?
I guess what I'm wondering is this -- if my body temp starts to go up to normal, does that mean my thyroid is becoming regulated?

You have to be careful now of not going in the other direction, which would mean you are getting overdosed.
lt was how they used to do it before TSH levels became the norm.
