I have the same problem. Right now I have something -- not sure what-- and my temperature is 97.5. I have done random testing - when I am well I am at 98.6 on the dot. Very frustrating because I don't know what it means. Am I a little sick? Very sick? Doctors don't believe me and will ignore my low readings. Makes me crazy.
Either your thermometer is broken or you are measuring improperly. (For example, you should wait 15 minutes after drinking or eating before getting an oral temperature that is accurate.)
If your temperature were really 95.3F, you would be seriously ill and near death from hypothermia.
you should get a new thermometer.
