I would recommand rechecking it, making sure you don't have anything cold 15
minutes before hand. It may have just been a weird reading (I've taken
people's temperatures one minute and then go re-take if it's not what I want
and I get a different temp.) And a 96 isn't too bad, if it went lower then I
would worry.

Ken,
You may want to post your question in this newsgroup:
alt.support.thyroid
I seem to recall learning from that newsgroup that some thyroid
problems can cause low body temperatures and Anemia.

Where on/in your body did you measure your temperature and what did you use?
