Back to the problems, at night I wake up just minutes after I fall asleep feeling like I just died or something and came back to life. I woke up and looked into the mirror and my face looked as if I stopped breathing or something. The T-zone around my face and eyes and nose area look puffed up. Slightly swollen face. Three nights in a row and I just can't sleep without that feeling, it's like I would rather stay awake than sleep.

Hi Fatima,
I had this exact problem: waking up shortly after falling asleep, gasping for air. Sometimes I even had night sweats as well (and I'm male, 34 yo). I also had very low temps on waking... mid-low 95's. Your temps are scary low, but I was able to bring mine up very quickly with progesterone. I used high amounts. you can't use small amounts, it doesn't work. You need to have enough to overcome the stress hormones that are present, and especially for females there are no bad side-effects of too much. In fact, if you take too large a dose you will feel sleepy and drowsy.
You may need to go on thyroid. I now have waking temps of 98+, but still sometimes at night I wake and taking a little thyroid and a swig of milk or OJ puts me right back to bed. But Progesterone can also encourage thyroid production, and if that puts you to sleep then you have enough thyroid in your system.
Also, it would not hurt at all to have your dinners closer to bedtime, so that your blood sugar stores stay elevated longer.
ALSO. I recently discovered that wifi and mobile signals were causing my severe insomnia, and my sleep problems did not fully alleviate until I unplugged the wifi and turned off my cell phone. Since doing that I am more keen on the effects of the EMF, which when exposed cause a slight stress feeling within ten minutes and can take as long as an hour or more to clear after the source is gone. I cannot stress enough how much you should try this if you have any EMF in the vicinity of your daily activities and especially when evening approaches. I absolutely cannot sleep if the wifi is on, and if my boyfriend's phone is left on, on his side of the bed, I wake within an hour of sleeping with a feeling of anxiety. This does NOT happen if his phone is off and the wifi is off.
The other important thing you need to do is take a daily, therapeutic dose of Magnesium. You body has lost the ability to retain healthy amounts, and while it's getting better it still cannot hold onto as much as it really needs, so taking a therapeutic dose (500 msg/day) makes sure your cells are bathed in it and have as much as they need to function properly.
Good luck!

Also do these look about normal to you guys ? I have decided to suppliment vitamin K and Vitamin E also magnesium.
And don't hold back on those crispy potato knobs you posted. :)tara said:Macros seem reasonable as a minimum. If you have appetite for more, then more sugar (fruit, milk, etc) might give you more energy for recovery.
sweetpeat said:Hi Raypmom,
The vitamins K and E also help with keeping the estrogen in check, so it’s good that you are adding those. Magnesium at night is also helpful and calming. All these things you are doing will help the metabolism and in turn your thyroid function.
Raypmom said:Also with progest e how do you take large dosage? I don't want to eat it. I mix a few drops with slighly melted coconut oil to make it spread more evenly. I use it topically. I have used it on my gums but ends up in my throat and causes some weird irritation. Not a huge deal, but should I be just using it on my gums several times a day? I don't think I have used a large dose yet. How much, and how often? Is it better later in the evening? I wouldn't want to be drousy while doing school work.
