Does anyone get these really low temperatures and if so does this have to do with lupus. I just took my temperature because I feel so weak and it was 95.0?

People with autoimmune diseases seem to be more likely to have low "normal" body temps.

I am interested to know your doctors option too. I have just been told that it is not a fever so most doctors are not worried about it. I actually also worry when I hit 98.6 because for me, I am feverish. When I am flaring, my temp drops from my normal 97.1 to 96 or lower and I feel quite feverish with chills and everything. I attribute it to my lupus because it is usually accompanied by a flare.

Also, Hypothyoridism such as Hashimotos associated with SLE can cuase low temp.
