High baseline temperature with endo

[Lucy_o]

Hey everyone! Does anyone know anything about high temperatures being linked to endo? My normal temperature is about 37.5ish which is the higher end of normal but it is not uncommon for my temperature to be much higher when I am well, especially on a bad pain day, or a bad fatigue day, where my baseline temp sits somewhere between 38 and 38.5. My GP theorised that this could be linked to the higher levels of inflammation in my body but he wasn’t sure. Anyone have any experience of this? Now is obviously not an ideal time to have an unexplained fever a good chunk of the time....

Hope everyone is doing ok!

I have a higher temp when I'm having a bad day and ovulating too. 😓 Not sure if this is an endo symptom, sorry I'm not much help.

Thank you! Helpful to know others have had a similar experience!

I have been struggling with this too, I think it is connected to my endo & adenomyosis. I agree it's stressful when you are asked about your temp or it's taken at the hospital.

Yeah it is not a good time to have a rogue high temperature 😬😬

I’m not sure about the link between the two but I definitely find the same! When I have bad bouts especially I often sit around 38, but I don’t feel warm in myself! I’ve never known the link and I assumed it was because I was in pain xx

Yeah, seems like it must be connected to the inflammation some how but I can’t find any solid info or studies about it
