Hi Diane

For me low termperature is ONE symptom of hypothyroidism but it is not definitive. That said, 97.6 is definitely on the lowest limit of the normal range (97.6 - 98.6) for first thing in the morning, and could easily be higher. If you have the other symptoms, then I would say hypothyroidism is almost a certainty. Of course blood tests are normal - the TSH test leaves most undiagnosed and untreated. Did you get Free T4 and Free T3 levels done?

Your best bet is to get over to http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ to learn more about hypothyroidism and adrenals before you do anything. Inform yourself, then treat yourself. You can't rely on a doctor to do it intelligently unfortunately.

Best of luck
