Water retention and body temperature
-
Has anyone else noticed a connection between water retention and low body temp?
It's summer and very hot inside and I've also been spending time in the midday sun, but when I actually measure my temps they are often very low. Even though I'm sweating and feeling hot.
This seems to coincide with higher water retention; I can see it on the scale and it always causes lower back pain.
What would be good to try for
- increasing temps
- reducing water retention
I have experiment with T3 but can't seem to get consistent results. Salt does seem to work sometimes, but I have to eat more of it than I feel like eating.
My energy levels and mood are pretty good so this low body temp is confusing.

@revenant I would say you could try to drink less fluids and eat less salt.
I know that being hypothyroid is supposed to lead to water retention but lower fluid intake might boost thyroid levels.
Regarding salt, I think it's a subject of debate but personnaly I feel it makes me thirsty so wrt the first point, I find it counterproductive.

I don't think I drink that much liquids usually, maybe half a liter of OJ, half a liter of coke (with real sugar), and half a liter of skim milk. Or do people here drink even less than that..?

@revenant 1.5L doesn't seem too much, especially if you don't drink water, but could try to go lower as a "therapeutic intervention".
