The temperature reading depends on which part of the body is being measured. The typical daytime temperatures among healthy adults are as follows: Temperature in the rectum (rectal), vagina, or in the ear (tympanic) is about 37.5 °C (99.5 °F) [20] [medical citation needed] Temperature in the mouth (oral) is about 36.8 °C (98.2 °F) [12]
Hyperthermia is an elevation of body temperature over the temperature set point, due to either too much heat production or not enough heat loss. [1] [7] Hyperthermia is thus not considered fever. [7]: 103 [40] Hyperthermia should not be confused with hyperpyrexia (which is a very high fever). [7]: 102

Fibromyalgia is a medical syndrome that causes chronic widespread pain, accompanied by fatigue, awakening unrefreshed, and cognitive symptoms.Other symptoms can include headaches, lower abdominal pain or cramps, and depression. [9]
Calcium supplementation in women who have low dietary calcium may reduce the number of negative outcomes including preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, and maternal death. [102] The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests 1.5–2 g of calcium supplements daily, for pregnant women who have low levels of calcium in their diet. [103]
Three common clusters of symptoms have been identified: a respiratory symptom cluster with cough, sputum, shortness of breath, and fever; a musculoskeletal symptom cluster with muscle and joint pain, headache, and fatigue; and a cluster of digestive symptoms with abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Screening for COVID-19 in pregnant women in New York City, and blood donors in the Netherlands, found rates of positive antibody tests that indicated more infections than reported. [ 55 ] [ 56 ] Seroprevalence -based estimates are conservative as some studies show that persons with mild symptoms do not have detectable antibodies.
A consequence of all this high concentration organ content is that plasma vitamin C is not a good indicator of whole-body status, and people may vary in the amount of time needed to show symptoms of deficiency when consuming a diet very low in vitamin C. [62] Excretion (via urine) is as ascorbic acid and metabolites.
