I gotta find someone, myself. last tsh was 3.3, which, of course, they said was "normal", and dismissed. {I've been hypo for years...on synth for some time, but always complained that it wasn't enough. they'll only keep the tsh just barely inside their idea of "normal", though. "typical"). Funny how reproductive endocrinologists almost universally believe that their female patients should have tsh of between .5 and 1.5, and will treat aggressively to get it/keep it there.
I read some on the Barnes stuff on basal body temp, and took mine for a while...it is typically 96.0. One time, I was very sick, hospitalized with very high fever, and after that had broken, the nurse was taking my temp in the am...took it 3 times, and wouldn't believe what the machine said. so she went and found another thermometer...used that twice, and finally wrote down the number. Last winter, I had a touch of pneumonia. At home, the temp was over 102 at one point, but by the time I got to the ER, it had come down. I was sitting there shaking with chills, quite obviously feverish, and the nurse took my temp: 98.2. followed by dirty looks. then more from the doc. they took an x-ray, anyway, but it was quite plain that they thought I was a big faker. xrays came back + for pneumonia...doc told me the news, shaking his head in disbelief, but I was vindicated.
