Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 If I am remebering correctly awhile back we did either a poll or there was just several post on low body temp that most of us seem to have. It is fustrating that most docs do not recognize a temp as part of an infecton unless it is 101 or above. But also keep in mind that running a low grade temp is part of the bodies defense in fighting any infection. PSC 5/07 Listed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Thanks for the info. That makes some sense for me as I have had Thyroid disease since I was 20 years old.
