Hi everyone!
My name is Katie and I have been here reading and playing for a few weeks.
My temps are super-low. I am averaging about 96.5 in the morning.
Some mornings I do go higher. My lowest in the past few weeks was 95.6.
I have been adding orange juice, milk, cheese, gelatin, aspirin, Vit E, thyroid, a B complex, glysine...I am 44, am starting to consider myself "perimenopausal"...after adding progesterone a couple weeks ago, I had not had my menstruation for a couple months and the progesterone seemed to have brought it on...it was good, however, I, without exaggeration, was in some of the most intense physical pain I had ever experienced. I had cramping so intense for a couple of hours one morning that I was shaking, sweating and pale white. It passed and then it led to major bleeding and blood clots passing for a few days.
That is behind me now for a couple days...Now I am noticing swelling in my body, like my arms and legs.
I carry a lot of fat in my abdomen. I definitely believe I have cortisol issues too.
I have sleep apnea and sleep with a CPAP.
The sleep doctor, like 8 years ago, said that my sleep apnea was causing very high cortisol release...due to the suffocation...I noticed I gained puffiness in my face and a big belly back at that time, that never fully resolved.
I do massage therapy and can get quite tired at times.
So, anyway, just wanted to check in. I just ordered Cypro for the cortisol...I do remember years ago getting my hormones tested and had low estrogen though. I had low progesterone and low estrogen...but that was many years ago. I am not sure what it is today.
Any tweaks or insights come to mind for me? Or any positive support, etc?
Thank you all.
