My temp has always been normally 97 degrees too. The doctor thought i had hyperthyroid and did a scan and it was normal.

Its old school and consider alternative medicine but some go by temperture and pulse in the morning as the true need for thyroid hormone. Verses the standard way will be to compare blood levels
to a chart. Which is fine if it really applies to all people.

Quote:

A temperature and pulse that consistently runs low, may suggest that there is a need to place the patient on thyroid therapy. Generally a pulse running 65 or below may suggest lower thyroid function. The normal basal temperature runs between 97.8F and 98.2 F. A temperature running below 97.6 indicates the possibility of low thyroid function. The most accurate way of checking the body’s metabolic rate is with the axillary (meaning under the arm) temperature.

A bit low too! Not abnormally so, and I do not have a thryoid disorder. I feel fine. (~97.5)

Yes they are. Your more likely to gain weight with hypothyroidism.
You can lose weight with thyroid hormones though its dangerous if you do not need thyroid hormone.

The 98.6 F is a myth. body temperture varies not only person to person but a person's own temperture may vary a few degrees in
a day.
Maxium energy level it high and lowwer your sleepy.

One thing you might need to think about is hypothyroism. I have
it and take 50 mcg levothyroxine. Low body temperture can be a sigh of hypothyroidism.

I agree, I have hypothyroidism and I'm usually around 96-97.5 or so for temperature. I'm on 75 mcg Synthroid aka levothyroxine.

I am also on thyroid meds but it has not effected my normal temp....which is 96 to 97.My pulse is usually high nineties but I think it is because I smoke and my blood pressure for a 40 year old smoker is....OK,120/70.
