My normal temperature has always been 97.9, since childhood. I usually feel a little sick at 98.6. When I tell doctors and nurses this, most are unsurprised.
It's interesting that the medical profession won't revisit this issue in a scientific way.
- baldfat 8y agoWell normal tempature has always been known to have a range. My normal temp is always 96.8 almost around the clock. The BIG issue is when a fever begins which was always 101.5. My son had chemo with a port. Any fevers was a automatic 48 hours in the hospital getting cultures and antibiotics. I would start packing my bag when his hit 100. I knew it was going to be 101.5 within the hour. Now this means we can have people going in to the hospital sooner for fevers.
- mywittyname 8y agoMedical professions have known for a while that body temperature varies greatly. It's the layman that are stuck on the 98.6° thing. The same person can be 97° at 8am, then 100° at 8pm and feel totally fine. But the next day they are 100° at 8am and feel awful. There are a lot of factors that go into determining a good body temperature.
