High/low body temp

[Guest guest]

OK, now I'm confused......shut up everyone that knows me. LOL

Are we taking a survey on low body temps or above normal body temps now.

From what I've read, most run a lower than normal body temp, but this post said differently.

I need to keep this on file so I want to know what we are talking about please.

Sorry for confusing everyone, remember, I'm blonde. LOL

Thanks for the help,

Thanks Angie,

You're number 14! It seems that alot of us had low body temp, but now run about 98-99 since the RP. Very interesting I say.

As a young man, I was dealing with T & M equipment, including thermometers for

industrial use. So I know these low cost thermometers are not very accurate,

but if you measure with the same instrument and with the same method, it´s

not so important, what the absolute value is, just follow the relative

reading, the difference from your normal temp.

Heippa!

According to the instructions of my digital thermometer, the normal area is 97.7 - 99.5 (36.5 - 37.5 C). Sounds a bit high??? I´m on the lower limit or even under it. So we don´t have only cold women. :-)

In Finland we measure under the armpit, do you take oral temp. in America? The most reliable method is rectally.

When using an armpit, it´s possible to get too low readings, if the tip is not pressed and in the contact properly.

In mouth it should be under the tongue.

When a digital meter beeps, it hasn´t reached the final reading. If you let it be some more minutes, you will get a (much) higher reading.

If you use a "thermoscan" ("shoot" into your ear), the reading is higher than traditional, and you must be very careful, how to measure. Now, when having RP, my ear tunnels are so narrow, that it doesn´t work properly.
