Body Temperature

I was wondering if anyone here does, or has taken their temperature on
a regular to semiregular basis?

I'm betting that being exposed to various fields can alter it. I was
just recalling a number of years back, my sister, who is EI started
taking hers and writing it down almost hourly for a record for her Dr.
and it would fluctuate a lot, she tended to run a fever often.

I'm thinking we may run colder much of the time. I feel colder when I
sit at the pc for any length of time, than elsewhere it seems, and my
feet always freeze.

I seem to not have a temp. monitor anymore, but, maybe I can get one
soon, and see what happens. I think low thyroid also would show lower
temps. Just a thought.

I don't measure my temperature, but one thing that I've noticed at
work is that when someone else has been sitting in my chair, I
notice that my chair is much warmer than it ever is from me
sitting on it! They are obviously generating more heat than I am..

I take my temperature often, and it is too low. That is a symptom of hypothyroid and I'm taking natural thyroid hormone to see if that will help. I don't know if there are other reasons why body temperature can be low

Hi Snoshoe,
I have taken my temperature on and off, once each day. It does tend to be
low not high.
Even when I have been prescribed warming teas (Chinese medicine and Sth
American herbs)
and taken cayenne pepper capsules, it still stays low. Thyroid tests say
that it is functioning correctly.
Cheers, Helen

Worth noting that thyroid tests can give a false negative, especially in the
borderline region. If someone is showing a lot of hypothyroid symptoms and
the test is not showing a conclusive result, they may still have a problem.
 
Sue came up borderline on the tests and they tried her with standard iodine
and thyroxine (T4) treatments, but the latter "over-stimulated" her. Much
later we were given some Armour "natural" thyroid to try - this is derived
from pigs but contains both T4 and T3. (T3 is the active component in our
bodies, which normally convert T4 to T3). This has made a remarkable
difference to her mental health - the "brain fog" she was plagued with has
disappeared - even at a very low does (which is all she can take).
Tentative conclusion is that her body is not converting T4 to T3
effectively, and one wonders how many other people may be in the same boat,
as thyroid disorders of various sorts are pretty common.

I read somewhere that exposure to some EM/RF would result in the tying up of certain electrolytes?/(cant remember the term) and would result in coldness. It makes sense if it interferes with the heart and circulation that this would occur. Peggy

No, Sue had none of the severe symptoms of hypothyroid like the ones you
describe (not long term at any rate) - the only external symptom she had was
very dry and chapped skin. That was why it took so long for thyroid to come
to the top of the "in tray" of possible causes and treatments. She only
requires very small doses, about once every 4-5 days, but they have a major
effect.

Nice to hear this is helping Sue, Ian....I have a question, with the lower
thyroid, did Sue
have any symptoms of hair loss, extreme fatgue, muscle weakness, muscle
spasms or
prolems with her eyes when she tested low?

Hi Karen,
In fact there are one or two thyroid specialists who advocate always
diagnosing and treating thyroid on the basis of clinical symptoms even if
the tests are negative, from their experience over the years. This is
controversial, but seems reasonable to me, I guess some types of test have
bigger errror bars than others and thyroid must be one of the less certain
ones. Did they give you the full range of blood tests for T4, T3 and TSH
(thyroid stimulating hormone) or just the basic T4 test?

Thanks, Ian. I was wondering as I had severe symptoms and my thryroid always
was
normal-range on blood test.
