If my thyroid temperator management is low (typical body temp 35c) could that explain my tendency for overactive immune system, ie b cells that can have consequence toward hashimotos, lymphoma, syrogens, Multiple sclerosis or other autimmune disease.
Could measuring fever response be a way of advocating thyroid diagnoses?
My mother had Ms. My brother just diagnosed with Ms. I have lymphoma and many genetic markers for Ms
Anyone else have related conditions?
Autoimmune diseases often run in families
Having one autoimmune disease makes others more likely
I think the temperature thing is interesting. Even when feeling 'OK' on my NDT medication, my temperature never gets to 37° C. That would be a fever for me! Before all the blood tests were invented (to be used to monitor treatment with Levo), basal body temperature was one of the key signs to monitor. Obviously hypothyroidism itself causes lowering of metabolic functions, so the lowered temperature is not surprising. But I wonder if the inverse is true? i.e. do people with Graves / hyperthyroidism run high? And I have friends and family with a range of autoimmune diseases and have never seen or heard of temperature monitoring for them. Maybe it's only relevant for thyroid because of its role in metabolism.
That's very low Steve, don't you need more thyroid hormone replacement to bring your temperature up to between 36.5 and 37.5?
With a body temperature of 35 °C you are on the cusp of being hypothermic.

Since low body temperature is a known consequence of being untreated or under-treated for hypothyroidism it might give you some useful ammunition with your doctor.
No doctor is prescribing me anything. I don't have low enough t3 or high enough t4 for diagnoses
