Low body temp

Who else has noticed that their body temperature is lowering and cold hands and feet? Is it really always just thyroid HPA axis? I noticed that thyroid medication is now the second most prescribed medication in the United States, more than statins blood thinners blood pressure regulators and antidepressants, clearly something's going on I have a hard time believing that 200 million people all have bad thyroid genes.

My body temperature has been lower for years, and my hands/feet, especially hands, can get very cold in winter. But even in Georgia springs and summer, body temperature runs low.

How are your thyroid tests, Stetsonva? Have had low T3 for a few years, while TSH and T4 are normal, though low normal.

I have explored cold hand and feet, since being infected. That symptom doesnt line up for me.

My thyroid labs are in optimal range.

I suspect it maybe from betablocker i am on. Common side effect from them

If your digits turn blue, its called Reynard's syndrome and is more commonly found in "thyroidians".

Even with optimal thyroid med and levels, my whole body feels cold in the winter, mostly at night. When its really, bitter cold out, it takes me a long time time warm up, sometimes I just cant and need to layer more. It is lower than average in PM and AM, just lounging around at home. My feet improved, hands not so much, I could write a book on glove selection/use.

Took me a long time to try it, but 100% gluten free helped my thyroid med requirement per labs. Natural thyroid cost has quad-rippled in ten years, complete healing would be my dream come true. My nodule 100% dissolved after ten years, that was a dream come true which actually happened.
