is it true people with auto immune conditions have lower body temperatures?

Not necessarily. Usually, in the more severe cases of autoimmune conditions this is true...before the meds are regulated, etc. My Mom has Autoimmune Hepatitis (this is the non-contagious kind). This involves her liver. When she first started getting sick, her temp was pretty normal. Now she is on maintenance medication (she has decided against a liver transplant) her temperature is normal...but that's just through personal experience. There may be other conditions out there that differ, or affect body temperature in a different way.

IT could be an infection of some type. There are also diseases that cause fevers, such as lupus. Also it could be the heat. I know in the summer time I run a low grade fever, it's pretty normal for me. I did talk to a doctor about it. \n\nSeeing a doctor is advisable. ;0)

no you could go out in the dead of winter butt naked socking wet and not get sick. people get sick from other people, when you go to work or go shopping...although if you sit in front of an air conditioner you could get a stiff neck.

The human body is adapted to be comfortable in temperatures lower than 37 degrees celcius (98.6 degrees F.). This is mostly due to the fact that the body gives off it's own heat - and quite a lot of it. (That is the only reason blankets work - they trap the heat your own body produces.) Our bodies need to give off this heat in order to function properly. This is why in higher temperatures, we are uncomfortable. The heightened outside temperature makes it more difficult for our bodies to get rid of the excess heat that they are producing.

It's simple. Our bodies system, especially the defense system, work best on a range of temperature. When the temperature outside (that will affect the inside body temperature) is changed, it changed the whole things that happened in our body, such as hormones, blood pressure, and especially, the lifosit (the body's defense "army"). Sure, if the lifosit can't work well, so does the entire body's defense system. But why microbes still can live at its best? Simple, because the microbes' temperature tolerance is higher (or "cooler") than our body.\n\nSo in short, when our body is in cold, it's just like a snow hurricane winter to our body's defense system, but still a summer springtime for the microbes. When the microbes spread over the body, it then attacks the part of the body that it loves, such as the brain (so that it makes you dizzy), the defense system (and the body reacted with rising your body temperature to reactivate the lifosit), and the sponge organ within our neck (that's their fave place). That's the reason why if you get cold, wearing a syal or drinking hot tea makes better.

Hi.  You may have something known as raynaud's phenomena.  I have this and I can never stay warm either.

The virus is an auto-immune disease and means the immune\nsystem is weak and has a break down in cell to cell function\nand repair. With a strong immune system the body can virtually heal itself from any type of disease. medical \nscience has proven this. with a weak immune system the body can and will get other auto immune system dysfuctions like\nleukemia. I work with research scientist.

No we don't. The human immune system is an extraordinary thing much like the rest of it's systems. The more it's exercised the stronger it gets. Avoiding germs and bacteria only makes people weaker.

the normal temperature from the human body depends where the person lives , in the hot weather or in the cold weather, but the regular temperature is 36 or 37 degrees Celsius

I don't believe there is any such thing as "Cold" diabetes.  There's Type I and Type II.

Fatigue is a common symptom.  Dizziness or balance difficulties and a general feeling of malaise often occur.  Most affected people have a low grade fever at some point.  The problem is that symptoms vary widely depending on what kind of autoimmune disorder a person has.  Here's a good website for further information.

no, but it can be controlled to the point where you would only get minor flare ups every so often. just make sure you are wary of this condition and not to expose your skin to too much harsh elements

It sounds like psoriasis.  Maybe check with your doctor to see if that is what it is.\nIf so, you need to treat it from the inside of your body.\nI have a product that is an adaptogen and goes to work on auto-immune deficiencies.\nLet me know if you would like more information.

They can get inflammation, but not fever from inside. Their internal temperature may increase together with temperature of environment and this one may be above their preferred body temperature, so maybe that may be called fever? Body temperature of cold-blooded animals is very related with activity of their immune system.

Unfotunately, those new digital home thermometers are not very accurate.  But, if you stick with the old fashioned glass and mercury ones you will have better luck.  As far as your question goes, everyone's temperature varies.  From person to person and from hour to hour.  Depending on your health, your mood, your time of the month and the time of the day your temperature can vary.  Normal is 98.6 degrees Farenheit.  But, mine varies from 97.5 to 100.0 when I am totally healthy.  And yes, your temperature can drop when you are sick just like it usually rises when you are sick.  Hope that helps.

You may have either neuropathy which is simply nerve pain usually related to diabetes but usually in the lower extremities, or you may have Raynaud's phenomena although I think that is more closely linked to cold than hot. Or that may just be the natural reaction of your blood vessels changing in size in response to the temp changes.
