Temperature?

[McNels]

I am in an initial phase, started to medicate for hypo for only 3 weeks ago, what should the body temperature be in the morning?

I havn't checked mine for years.. until this morning. It was 36.4.

Is it normal?

If it was taken in your armpit, then this is a good reading. If it was taken orally, it could be better to be closer to 37. Mine is 36.1 am and around 36.5 pm, now that I am on combo t4/t3. Before the treatment it was about 0.5 lower. I have also noticed some seasonal changes. In summer It goes up for some 0.2-0.3, and in winter it goes down which made me think to raise my medications accordingly.

Thank you!

I wish my body temp was as high as yours. Mine is 34.9 degrees Celsius upon waking.

[McNels in reply to Hidden]

Ohhh, is it possible!

That level must quite hard to live with!

You must be frozen!!

I hope you get help.

Then mine is no problem, in comparison..

Hopefully when I'm on a more optimal dosage the temp will even itself. It's weird, I don't feel frozen. The doctor is doing more tests with me now - an ECG - for blood pressure. I have a family history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, angina, stroke and aneurysms so maybe it's all connected somehow. The doctor wants me to pick up a form to take to the hospital for an ECG I presume. So hopefully things for me will move forward.

It is good that the doktor makes more tests with you!

I hope they will find a solution for you!

[Hidden in reply to McNels]

Thanks. I had my ECG done today, I didn't want to read too much into it but there were lots of jagged lines and quite a few steep ones. On some my heart didn't look to be beating at all! The nurse said there was nothing of serious concern but my doctor will let me know.

[McNels in reply to Hidden]

We hope the nurse was right!

Most likely she is.

This morning mine was 35.3. I told new Endo mine is low but he said I have to find what is normal for me but they are all over the place! I also find though if I get really cold can't warm up for hours!

[McNels in reply to silverfox7]

Oj,,, I feel pity for you also!

But there must be a way to get the temperature up!

I am in the beginning of Natural Thyroid. I have medicated for 3 weeks only, but I think

I have become a little bit warmer...

I hope you get help for it!

Thank you! For years I've said I must have my wires crossed but I spend a fortune heating the house and although that helps a little it still doesn't help if the core is frozen.

So true...
