Low body temperature and dizziness?

[Guest guest]

As mentioned in the prior post, I had been trying to find out what

was causing the zoned, spacey, fog feeling in my brain as it has been

steadily getting worse over the past couple of months. Obviously it

could be a `die-off' reaction, but that does not make it much fun and

it gets tricky if I cannot earn a living because of it. Hence I have

been trying a few things to try and change the equation and make it

more manageable.

The noticeable increase in clarity after exercise on a couple of

occasions led me to review what might be happening with that and see

if I could build on it. This led through research on sweating; body

temp; thyroid; liver; fatigue; and finally Bee's Thyroid-Adrenal

files which are excellent! That was an eye-opener as have never seen

the contrasts between thyroid and adrenals put in that way and so

many of them too. VERY enlightening.

I began to take my body temperature and was stunned to see that it

was 94.4 degrees Fahrenheit (very low) after spending 20 minutes on

the Stairmaster building up a sweat. Yes, my strength that came

suddenly with the clove oil trial has not dissipated! Anyway, knowing

that body temperature is a key component of the Thyroid mish mash I

looked up Bee's file on Adrenal/Thyroid contrast and was intrigued to

find that I am almost wholly in the " Adrenal " camp and NOT

the " Thyroid " camp. Maybe that is why the thyroid meds trails I did

with T4, T3 and combos of the two, did nothing?!

To track this a little more I have been taking my temperature with a

good oral thermometer numerous times in the day to see if there was

any possible relationship to the still intermittent periods

of " dizziness " that occur. Now my temperature has been running `cold'

for a number of years at about one to two degrees below normal and is

usually in the high 96's. This 94's and 95's is rare. Now this is

very tentative and is pure speculation at this point but I may be

seeing a correlation between the lower temperatures and feeling more

spacey and fogged. When I feel almost normal at present, my

temperature is in the 97's and even up to 98.3 degrees. [ " Normal " is

98.6 degrees].

Not sure if I am onto something here, but was wondering if anyone

else who is experiencing spaceyness, head, or vision symptoms, etc.

has low body temperatures as well? I would be very interested to

know. Ultimately this may all rectify through the diet and time, but

managing the process of getting there is a task in itself. I for one

am going to be taking a much closer look at Adrenal aspects and body

temperature clues.

Good hunting. Best, M.
