98.6 Degrees May Not Be Your "Normal" Body Temperature

[dibbons]

It just reached 37 degrees centigrade (98.6 Fahrenheit) outside today at 1:30 PM so I looked up how that compares to what we were taught as kids, a normal/healthy body temperature. I guess nobody has an exact answer, especially considering it may vary person to person or even within the same person.

What is Normal Body Temperature?

I've always been around 97.6 most of my life. Don't know why??

I usually am right around 101 give or take. None of my doctors has an explanation other than "that's just me".

I'm usually 97.3 When I was so sick back in November, I woke up every day at 104 until they figured out I had a blood infection, and how to treat it. One Doc told me I was well on my way to leaving out of here!

I tend to run on the cool side all the time.
