How? Regular thermometer (not electronic)? Under the armpit? <—supposedly the most accurate method.
My temperature seems to vary immensely. Like noted in this thread, people’s temps are lower in the morning.
I’ve had 35.2 and 35.4oC readings first thing in the morning, even recently.
I measured myself this afternoon and it was the highest it’d been, well ever since i started measuring months ago - 36.6oC. Overall my average temp seems to have gone up.
Im going to have a 24 hour saliva cortisol test soon hopefully and measure my temperature each time so see if that tells me anything interesting.
The real test would be to give a person with lower body temperature/suspected hypothyroidism/immune system challenges some finasteride and see what happens. I’d bet that if you have such people take finasteride, it would take them down a rapid path of illness. I have issued this “finasteride challenge” in jest to a friend of mine who works long ungodly hours, travels a ton for his job, doesn’t get enough sleep, has frequent jock itch and eczema and colds and immune depression symptoms when he is most stressed and overworked. He had done a round of finasteride many years ago, unaffected. This time around, it’s my strong hunch he wouldn’t be so lucky.
And he’s gonna do it?
Bluecloud87, reading comprehension, mate! You’re a native English speaker, I expect better. The key phrase is highlighted above. Of course I wouldn’t seriously suggest that my good friend take finasteride, I wouldn’t wish finasteride on my worst enemy. I was making a theoretical point to him and to the forum. If it wasn’t obvious before, I generally subscribe to the “immune” theory of PFS, if you will. Anyone who as a similar view please feel free to PM me and we can exchange more theories, ideas, article links, etc.
Same thermometer i used for my testing.
I am now averaging about 36.3.
Has anyone got family/ friends who they can get body temps off without it being embarrassing/ weird? ha. I am waiting to receive my new thermometer as the readings of 35 degrees C yesterday MUST have been wrong. My temperature has never been that low.
Sorry buddy. What are you doing these days as far as testing/ treatment? did you find a good naturopath?
Can you also tell ihatepropecia to get his ass back on this forum and post in the recoveries section once he is not taking anymore nystatin or other drugs

Some good info on the wilson protocol here…

Interesting reading. I would like to try it sometime if i thought it was safe enough. Seems to be very promising. Body temperature is really important - it’s so overlooked here its a joke…]
Very interesting. All of us including myself have low body temperature.
I was wondering what happens when we get the flu. The flu usually adds a couple of degrees to the body temperature, but since we are already a couple of degrees down, would it go to 98.6? And if it did would brain fog lift and libido surge? I’m very curious to find out. I haven’t had the flu since I quit 3+ years ago
@ JOETZ
Since my crash, my temp is usually 97.0 or lower. Before finasteride, it was a steady 98.6.
About a week ago, I had bad flu, and my temperature rose to 101.9 for roughly 5 or so hours. And, in fact, my libido was surging at this time. My imagination was running wild in a way that it had not in a very long time, however this was NOT accompanied my an erection. Anyways, that is my two cents and I hope I have answered your question somewhat.
Oddly enough, my temp went from 101.9, all the way down to 96.2 a few hours later. I did not even know a drop that drastic and so quickly was humanly possible. But to be honest, nothing really surprises me anymore.
I experienced strong libido and erections when i was ill/ flu.
35.4 max without any treatment 2 weeks before
35.8-9 Celcius in the morning, 1st week after 25 ug T4 pills.
rechecked my temps in oral way, 36.3 celcius there is too much difference. still not good:(
Before adrenal support + pregnenolone my temp was avg of 36.6. Even after exercising sometimes. Now it gets to 37 every day. Before I only got to 37 like once in a month. I have no more fatigue, i feel alert all day. The hotter I am, the better I feel. Low temps produce a brain fog type feeling.
I think you should work seriously on fixing that. What are your other sides?
I’ve been keeping track of my temp for over a week now and my avg is 97.0F and has been as low as 95.5. My blood tests show everything normal. I have an appointment to see an endocrinologist on the 27th to get more through blood work done.
I am quite sure you will find that one ore more of these are not ok if you have a low temp.
TSH / Ft3 / ft4 /rt3 / Silivary 4x cortisol / and maybe aldosterone.
For the record. My body temp only hit 98.6/37 once over a 2 month period.
I am able to increase temp with preg/prog/cortisol. With these can hit 37 most days.
