low body temp again...From: Alicia (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 8 May 2001 12:23:05 -0500 (CDT)
A few months ago, I did a post asking if many PCOSers had the same symptom of low body temperature. Many of us did. I have been doing a lot of searching on the web and have found that although my primary care doc thinks it's just fine to have an average temp of 97.8, it is actually a sign of stressed adrenals and thyroid dysfunction. In fact, I got copies of my blood workups from 3 years ago when I was officially diagnosed with PCOS. There is one when I first came in and one done 2 1/2 months later. The first one has thyroid and testosterone all out of whack. The second has all supposedly normal values. The catch is, they started me on bcps after the first visit. So now I am thinking that all this time I have been supressing the effects of a faulty metabolism with bcps. I would like to try a T3 therapy with the goal of raising the body temp to optimal levels, that is 98.6 degrees. however I am having a hard time convincing my doc because she finds all the levels 'normal.' My question is, has anyone undergone any holistic T3 or other type of therapies to try and raise their body temperature. And did that make a difference with regards to the symptoms of PCOS? If anyone is curious about the PCOS, low-body temp connection please explore as I did at http://www.drrind.com This is similar to Wilson's Syndrome but I find Dr. Rind's approach much more tailored and currently I am trying to find a doc in my area who is open to exploring this with me. (I am in Boston btw.)
