... have low body Temperature?

Shared on a CFS Discussion Forum

Mine is sometimes 96.6 or so. So when It up to normal and I go to a doctor and am sick I tell them i have a fever they say no.  I say No. HAHA.

I do.  My normal body temperature is usually around 96; the highest it has been is 97.  If I get to 98, I, like you, feel like I have a fever--when the doctor says no, I say, hey, for *me,* this *is* a fever.  I've been like that all my life though (I'm 25); my hands and feet are usually coldish.  I don't really tolerate heat that well--I'd rather it be winter than summer--in the winter at least I can keep putting on more clothes; in the summer, you can only take off so many clothes before you get yourself arrested . . .    :)
My temperature is always under 98.  Usually around 97.3-97.8.  I too have cold hands and feet but perspire lots in the summer.  A big fever for me is 102 degrees.  I feel sick when my temperature is 98 or above.
Hmmmmmmmm, Mine changed when I worked in a nursing home.  No logical reason, but it went down to 97.0.  I too don't like the heat, drives me nuts.

Anyone have the 'chills?'
