: OK bro, I have the same problem, and after 2yrs of searching have found a doctor

: 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.
