Low Body Temperature anyone?

I decided to start a thread to see how many women are suffering from low body temperature.  I find I get down to as low as 95,6 F at night and can barely get up to 98.1 F during the day and usually stay around 97.6 F.  I have been trying something to "reset" my body temperature, but it has been a struggle.  One step forward, two steps back.  Just wondering if anyone else has been having issues with this.  I should add that when I am able to get my body temp up to 98.6 F, I have zero pain.  When my body temp is low I have severe plantar fasciitis in my right foot and I can't use or bend my thumbs and it's incredibly painful.

Also, I found a link lowbodytemp.com and a forum bodytemp.eu that assists people in resetting your body temperature back to 98.6 F.  http://hansacenter.com/pdfs/Cancer_and_Low_Body_Temperature_01-10-2010.pdf

BTW:  I can be drenched in sweat from a "hot" flash yet my temp is only 96.5 F.  So my body temp that I think I am at is much lower then what I feel like. 

LOW BODY TEMPERATURE RELATED DISEASES:

Cancer, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, diabetes, and heart disease.

LIST OF THINGS THAT CAN BOOST LOW BODY TEMP:

Immediately upon getting up:  Very hot coffee or expresso--just one cup, hot breakfast with fat in it to help keep up temp, the hottest shower you can stand, a hot room to get dressed in, dressing slightly over warm, using a space heater wherever you are, eating every two hours, eating coconut oil. 

SIDE EFFECTS OF LOW BODY TEMP: 

Brain Fog, Hair Loss, Skin Rashes, Nail Fungus, Chapped Lips, Inability to Sleep, Hot Flashes but low Temperature, Ice Cold Sweats or complete Inability to Sweat, Exhaustion & Fatigue, Weight Gain, Sensistivity to Temperature, Constant Pain and feeling like an arthritic, 90 year old woman.  headaches, migraines, PMS, easy weight gain, depression, irritability, fluid retention, anxiety and panic attacks,  poor memory, poor concentration, low sex drive,  dry skin and hair, cold intolerance, heat intolerance, low motivation, low ambition, insomnia, allergies, acne, carpal tunnel syndrome, asthma, odd swallowing sensations, constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, muscle and joint aches, slow healing, sweating abnormalities, Raynaud's Phenomenon, itchiness, irregular periods, easy bruising, ringing of the ears, flushing, bad breath, dry eyes/blurred vision, and more.

BEST THERMOMETER TO USE:

Vicks oral thermometer is fast & fairly accurate.  I also have a cheapo that is slightly off due to it converting celcius to farenheit.  I only use this to test the accuracy of the Vicks.  Always hold a thermometer in your mouth for one minute before pressing the button to get an accurate reading.  It's best to start tracking your temperature for a couple of weeks until you can accurately guess what your temperature is at any time of the day. I know when my temp is low by what body parts hurt, plus I go into a cold sweat.

CORE TEMPERATURE (rectal, esophageal, etc.)

Note: The difference between fever and hyperthermia is the mechanism

DIET:  Anything that spikes your blood sugar can cause your temperature to crash, so eating a low glycemic diet is key.  Rebecca Katz has a great cookbook "The Cancer Fighting Kitchen that addresses this and the food is  also great for those undergoing chemo.  Also a good book to read is "Anti Cancer-A New Way Of Life" by David Servan Schreiber with diet points which stress a low sugar diet.  The idea in resetting your temp is to have your first meal of the day be high in fat to get your day started-I know, this sounds contrary to most diets, however, upping your temp will speed up your metabolism and fat is necessary to help keep the body warm.

A reset requires at least 2 weeks of not exposing yourself to an AC which means some down time.

Anyone?
