Yes, everyone's temperature varies from person to person. When they say your temp should be 98.8 or .7, that is an average. I normally run 97.6, so if my temp actually reads 99 or more, I am sick, sick, sick. My clinic knows this about me and it's in my chart. Last time I wasn't feeling well and went to clinic, my temp was 99.2 and the nurse said, Oh my gosh, you are sick! Is this the first time you became aware of your temp running a little low?
