I'm so sorry. Is that your morning temp? That's the one I usually go by.

I am ALL over the place ALL day! But I usually don't break into the sweaty (hahahaha) 98 degree range. I am usually topped out at 97ish.

Well, I can dream, can't I.....

I'm always at 97. It's embarrassing to go to the doc with an infection but my temp is 98.6. He always asks how I know I have an infection if I don't have a fever. The last time I had a salivary gland infection, I showed him the puss coming out of a fissure in the duct to prove it. (Why don't docs believe what we tell them?!?!)

The next time I saw him, he had the nurse take my temp. Yep, 97.

I had the gland removed so hopefully it won't ever happen again.

Oh noooooooo! Sorry I am laughing. But These Days, whenever someone uses the word "normal" I start to giggle. I have a friend who always corrects me and demands to know "Did you mean 'normal' or did you mean 'normative'?"
