My temperature is very low today - so low it's off the scale

(20 Posts)
It's normally reasonably low closer to 36 on average that 36.5

But today it isn't registering as 35

Am I a freak unusual?

TBH forehead thermometers are rubbish. Get the old fashioned under the tongue mercury sort and make sure you leave it in for 3 mins. The chances are that your temp will be in the normal range.

Could you be dead but too busy to notice?
It is very very sore tbh

the GP gave me codeine for it - he couldn't see my ear drum as the ear canal was so swollen
I'm wincing at the thought of a boil in the ear. I hope you feel better soon.
Well the GP said my temp is low - but he isn't worried about it

Oh & I have a boil in my ear hmm

I think it's very likely that this is a thermometer problem. Forehead ones certainly are not that good anyway. Get a decent digital one if you can and try again. I used to get freakish results when temping (TTC) until I worked out I was messing up the preocedure, otherwise I ought to have been dead smile

if I take my temp. in the morning, then I am always around 35.5. I warm up a bit as the day progresses....

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
