Hi Mouth is more reliable and slightly different. It is always considered to be thyroid related but is not always. Mine on the correct treatment is only 35, in fact when Dr. do not believe me ,I break their thermometers!

Best wishes,

mine is usually 35-36 today was 37 the best ever, although I am thinking ive caught my daughters viral infection I will have to tell dr p when I take the results to him x

Hi Interesting, It often is a good guide but not always, An infection would normaly make it higher not lower!

Its higher today at 37 so I'm thinking because of the virus or is that still lowish? X

Hi That is Ok, every one`s "normal" does vary, always a good idea to know what is normal for you. Hospitals and docs very keen on temps,they did not use to bother so much.If I have a temp, hospitals that do not know me, think I could not have fever, when I do

I hope the infection`s better, or it could of course, be that!

best wishes,

Jackie
