Hi Guys: I was wondering how many of you have abnormally low body temperature. Mine at times is 96 and I am unable to get warm, other days I am too hot. Is there something in Lyme that affects your body temp or inability to keep it normal? Thanks   D

hi.. i definitely think if affects body temp... my "normal" body temp has lowered significantly.. even when i feel extremely hot and feverish, i am 98 degrees... at my worst, i was in the 95 range and normal now seems to be 96 ish degrees

Thanks Hezzer: Did you treat the Lyme with antibiotics and did it make a difference in your temp?

My temp is around 97.4 most of the time...

My temperature is also lower than normal. It used to be around 96.5 but increased to 97.5 after I chelated my heavy metals. Whenever it gets over 98, I feel feverish.

I think these infections thrive in the lower temperature or something. Almost everyone I know with lyme has a low body temperature.

I actually have a higher body temp all the time.  Usually it is 98 - 99.6 - that is my range. No one else in my family has lyme but my husband has a really low body temp and my oldest daughter is like me - a little higher. My youngest is pretty much always 98.6.
