    Low body temp

    I have an underactive thyroid past 20 yrs, on thyroxine and get checked every 6 months and last one a month ago said normal rane.

    I have always had a low temp it doens't seem to get higher than 36.5 and first thing in the morning it can be 35.9.

    AS i have noticed this on odd occasion I have taken my temp for many years not really thought about it but I read that low temp can be a sign of things like adrenal insufficiency - I thought it was just that even though my thryoid blood tests say normal maybe I am always slightly underactive for me as underacitve thyroid give you low temp.

    It was really cold today and i was out and about all day getting colder and colder and when I took my temp on getting home it was only 36. I warmed up and it went up to 36.5 but has now gone back to 36.2.

    Is this something I should tell my Dr??? I did once mention it and she just said everyone is different and that was that.

    Hi,
    If your worried about it then yes talk to your doctor, demand they actualy check it out. Too many people are afraid to talk or even challenge their doc.
    At the very least it will ease your mind about it

    Re: Low body temp

    I posted on another forum and got lots of replies and it appears that low temp is quite common so feel a bit better about it now.
