I was just told today by a very close friend of mine to take my temperature in the morning before I get out of bed.
She said it would help me detect a thyroid disorder.
Has anyone ever heard of this?
Did did it work for you?
Thanks so much,
Michelle

If you are concerned about your thyroid I would recommend going to your general doctor and getting a blood test. If your thyroid levels are off then you can talk to an endocrinologist to determine treatment options.

Low body temperature has reportedly been linked to a condition called Wilson's Syndrome but it has not been substantiated. Also, some naturopaths say that a lower body temperature (two to four degrees lower than normal) may also be linked to a slower metabolism and a thyroid disorder.
