I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an auto immune version of hypothyroidism, and my temperature seems to be
a rather constant 97.3 over the years. I mentioned it to my endocrinologist and she just referred back to my blood work
and liked the numbers and sort of discarded my low body temp as "my normal". Unfortunately, what raises a flag to one
doctor is not even on another's radar, so I take it all with a grain of salt. Dealing with thyroid seems to be, in my opinion,
more of an art than a science, constantly balancing meds in the hope that it gives optimal function.
