: Yes, my morning body temperature is low. I am not making this up.
: Please help me out, your help will be greatly appreciated.
: P.S. If anyone has US healthcare it only costs ten bucks to get
: a shitload of blood tests done!
OK bro, I have the same problem, and after 2yrs of searching have found a doctor
who knows how to treat it.
your best bet is for 2 weeks take your temp. orally at 10am, 1pm and 4pm, and average
out the 3, and if you are below 98.2 you have a problem.
many doctors do not know of or know how to treat this but it is
called Wilson's Syndrome. do a search on the web and you will find
some info. NOW...blood test DO NOT show you have this probelm, and they come up
normal. only body temp, results are the key indicator. it is basically
hypothyroidism with a different name, but cannot be detected with blood tests.
tell your doctor about this, and if he can't or does not know how
to help you, look up the wilson's syndrome foundation on the web, or
search the newsgroups and you will find a phone# to call and they will
give you a doctors name in your state who treats this.
good luck.
