Low Body Temperature anyone?

  I have always had low body temp.  If I am at 98.6, I have a fever.  Normal for me is more like 96.8/97 range .  I also have low blood pressure and since both are "normal" for me sort of thought they went hand in hand. Whenever I am in the hospital and have any type of surgery, my BP really drops.  The lst time I had a neulasta shot my temp was at 101 and that was really high for me.  I can always tell when I am getting a fever because my eyes start to burn. 

When other people are hot, I am usually comfortable and always need a sweater or some sort of jacket in the movie theater or at restaurants.  I have found that I am much more tolerant of heat than I am the cold so in the winter we really need to keep the heat cranked up for me to be comfortable. Even though sunbathing is not really recommended for anyone, I have always felt better with a tan and to this day, love sitting in the sun, soaking up the heat, even on really hot days.  When I had my Vit D levels checked simply because so many women on the threads were talking about them and how low levels seemed to go along with BC, mine was at 68 and I have never taken vitamins in my life (up until now and I am trying a few to ward off neuropathy) so I thought Ah ha, maybe all those years of basking in the sun paid off.  

   Since I have always been this way, I don't think it is any way related to my breast cancer.  Both my mother and father had low BP and my mother is gone, but I will ask my Dad about his body temp to see if I inherited that also. 

I just saw this thread and guess I should go back and read the whole thing to find out if this is something I should worry about.  But at this stage of the game, I most likely won't. 

Well, I finally broke down and got a rx for Lyrica.  I would feel better for a day and then have 3 bad days...and nights were either ok or horrible.  I've had 3 doses and am so dizzy, I am banging off the walls to get from the computer to the sofa...there are SO many side effects for Lyrica   hope they will abate, but I do say the aching in my legs and pain in the soles of my feet are somewhat better.  Too bad I can't use them to even walk today !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  hahahahaha

Temp holding in the 97's.  Haven't had a 96.anything for two weeks.  yaa 

MBJ, There is a Yahoo group that helps with adrenal function (NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS) and fatigue.  There's a lot of good info there.

MBJ, where arrrrrrre you?  

Mine has come up since taking the Adrenal Rebuilders - ya!  I'm in the low 98's most of the time

my temp has been running 96,3 to 97,6 during chemo. My doctor said this is not uncommon and was not concerned. She was concerned when I had a tail fever of 100.5 since my temps has been running low. I had my second chemo yesterday. I am up now with night sweats and my temp is 96,3. Ugh.
