This causes many of the same symptoms of thyroid disease. Some doctors don't acknowledge it as a disease/diagnosis. My husband found this on the web the other day since my body temperature is never at 98.6. Is always lower. The one time my thyroid was checked it was normal. Makes one wonder.

Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome Symptoms

The symptoms of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome are classic low thyroid symptoms. A patient doesn’t have to have all the symptoms to respond well to T3 therapy. In fact, you may only have one. Low body temperatures can affect people differently, and can be the cause of many different symptoms: (you can click here for a more complete, printable checklist.

Actually, the idea that a "normal" temperature is 98.6 is incorrect. "Normal" temperature is a range and can vary widely from that mean. "Normal" is a range, and the average or usual body temperature for each individual can be different. Anything between 97 and 99 is considered normal, and it isn't considered a fever unless the temperature in an adult is above 100.

My body temperature averages about 97.4 and has for my whole life. While I feel warmer if I'm hyperthyroid, it doesn't really raise my body temperature significantly - maybe to 98

Information from the Mayo Clinic says: "Wilson’s thyroid syndrome or WTS, is an alternative medicine concept which is not recognized as a medical condition by evidence-based medicine." No objective evidence for this syndrome has ever been presented.

I hope you feel better soon.

I'm beginning to think that is the norm for me also since most times at the doctor is is around 97.6. Now the other day at the doctor is was 98.6. But I've got a double ear infection and sinus infection and bad throat. My husband said maybe my body temperature had always been around what it is now, around 97.6. I've not been one to take my temperature that often. Only if I felt bad.
