Hey bud. I see you doing something that I do myself. I'm not trying to insult you. I think you have a bit of hypochondria. You're worrying for nothing my friend. You're worrying alone is probably what's causing your bodies drop in temperature.
I would get a physical done to make sure though just in case you're right.
I suffer from hypochondria. I blow everything out of proportion until it's to much for me to bare. I hope I didn't piss you off.

but...even earlier this year it was 98 point something; low body temp, along with waking up with a finger bent and having to be unbent, is kinda scary.

amen i do this too . but if it makes you feel better my normal temp is 97.6 always . And my blood pressure is so low the nurses joke about how am i still walking ? So stop worrying your ok

Body temps fluctuate normally. Give self break its not 69.4

Welcome back too!

thank you, Nicki49.

I have started reading how lowered body temp can be a sign of # other things, so I was starting to wonder.

thanks, billwfriend,

nothing like being afraid of my health, to get me to post again;)

Don't read health stuff . LOL

Watch those health pages on the internet. They will scare anyone!!! I have low low blood pressure and I keep getting told that at least I will never have a stroke. I go to the doctors and my temp is either 99.8 or below normal. Who knows what the norm is anymore. Don't worry so much. Go in for a check up, get some blood work done and you will feel a lot better.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat, penntucky. That's a tough one. I'm a cat person, too, so I feel for you. I had to put down a kitty one time, and I bawled and bawled over it. It's very hard.

Try not to worry about your temp. Do you feel warm enough? Is your nose warm, and your hands and feet? If they are, I think you're probably okay. If you actually feel cold and have a hard time getting warm, there might be a problem.

woke this morning at 330 to once again having to straighten a bent finger; keep on waking with a bent finger, that has to be forced open with my other hand.

I've already out-lived about a dozen people my own age I knew back in early 1980s, and ex-classmates. 50-something does seem to be the life expectancy for the wrong people I hung around with. Doesn't help that my lower body temp started when I lost 10 pounds in 10 days, cause of little money for food.

the clich of wish I had led a fuller life, with more and better people when I was younger, and in better health

Hi there. Body temps chance throughout each day and day by day. Mine are normal with each month in the 96-98 range. Nothing to worry about, but if you are ever unsure you have to visit a doctor.
