hello unbitten!

well, low body temperatures or feeling cold can be a sign of thyroid problems. however, all your temperatures are within normal limits. body temperature fluctuates throughout the day, with lower temps being experienced right before you wake up and higher temps in the late afternoon/early evening. your body temp can react to your environment. if you exercise, your temp goes up. it might get lower in an air conditioned room.

if you drink something cold up to 15 minutes before you take an oral temp, your temp will be lower.

if you're concerned about thyroid disease, ask your doctor to order a TSH test. pay attention and write down any other symptoms you are having; excess thirst, fatigue, weight gain or loss, etc. other symptoms combined with body temperature offer a better picture of your problems.

temperatures within certain limits are normal (obviously a high temp signals a fever). if you're concerned about your lack of sweating, that could be another problem. seems like you should talk to your doctor just to get some reassurance you are having no problems from the rabies shots or a thyroid prob.
