I am talking about your temperature. As we know the normal temp is 98.6..but my body temp has rarely gotten above 97.5. If my temp was 98.6, I would probably think I had a fever. I was just reading the other day that older people have slightly lower body temps, but mine has always been this way? Do you know yours?

My normal body temperature is 96.8, and of course what is considered normal is 98.6. Oddly, my son here runs his temperature the same way, as does my oldest daughter.

Mine runs a little bit lower. I have plenty of insulation; but I'm usually cold.

I am usually only cold if there is a reason to be.

Mine is has always been normal as far as I know. As we age the blood naturally thins, so it can sometimes make it harder to prefuse organs, so that could be part of it, but then again... not a doctor here. I actually run hot for the most part. while my temp is adverage, I'll be sweating in bed while my husband is freezing.

Interestingly, I was curious, and apparently..98.6 is not the standard any more. Most people's temps are 97 something.

I am a bit below average in the range of what you said your temperature is above.

@snowy22315 mine’s usually on the low side and I always thought I was a freak so it’s good to know there’s someone else like that. I think the rest of me is regular.

It's been days since I last checked my temperature. When I have fever, I can feel it, so I take the medicine.

I very rarely have a fever, UT I can usually tell if I have one as wekk.
