GREAT point. My “normal” basal body temp is 97.0, if I get to 98.3, I feel feverish. Try explaining that one to your average health professional! FINALLY Stanford University verified in a recent study average body temp is falling, and people who are very fit and healthy tend to have lower average body temp.

Thanks! You really hit on the crux of the issue. Many health professionals do not really consider a feverless person to be sick even with other symptoms.

Yes, you are correct. My normal body temperature is also as yours 97.0. When I had a UTI and went to the ER my temperature was 99 and to them this was not considered a temp. Eventually I went into septicemia. Big story as this 82 year old lady am very, very lucky to be alive. (Boy did I suffer). Am still healing as it takes two years to recover.
