Take your temp and respond your resting body temp in the poll. Supposedly average person should be 37.0°C, but I operate slightly cooler at 36.2°C. Measurements must be taken orally. Readings are different for other measurement method(axillary, rectal, infrared-in-ear) and they'll skew the results.

I was running at 37C, but after installing my Peltier's and a water cooler with AS II, my temps have dropped to 13C.

I don't know exactly what I am, and I don't have a thermometer here. I would like to know what it means if you are low and/or high as your normal temp. Does that mean anything different? I do know that I am lower than the 98.6 degree mark, but not exactly sure.

the last time I went to the doctors, they took my temperature 6 seperate times with 2 different thermometers. Both read 92.7. :Q

I am usually 98.2 or so though.

I am almost always 96.8. I have had it taken at the docs and at home and it is always 96.8.

I am sure you can do it the more invasive way and compare the 2

I hover in the mid 97s most of the time. I have a hell of a time explaining to doctors that if I read at 98.6 I'm running a fever.

IIRC, axillary should be 1*F lower than oral and rectal should be 1*F higher.
