I experienced the same thing. 2-4 weeks where I was slightly sluggish in everything. Eat more fat! When you come out on the other side of this, it goes directly in the opposite direction. You will experience having a constant energy all day regardless of your level of activity. I had to lean how to sleep again by using mediation techniques to fall asleep for a while. There is no absolute high, but also rarely a low, so come night time, start to gear down about eight o clock and as soon as you feel the slightest sleepy, dont ignore it, go to sleep.

Here in the beginning you can eat a bunch of berries, honey. Get some unprocessed sugar, most of us are addicts but dont realise it, even when we eat "healthy", and what you describe sounds suspiciously like sugar withdraval syndrome. It can take as much as 6 weeks with abstinence before it passes.

Now I am going to speak out of my ass. I suspect that the more pristine your source of food (raw animal), the better you feel and thus anything slightly off in the body becomes obvious like never before.

If you tell us more about your age and what your past paleo diet was like and what your current ailments were and if you've done any detoxes yet and what kind of raw paleo diet you are on and if you kept a sort of journal, we could better chime in.

Welcome!

Tell us what your daily menu is.

But your body does take time to adjust but I still think you're doing something wrong

Ok.

For the past 3 months I switched into Paleo.

I usually eat lets say

Egg curry made with coconut milk or oil and 2 two 3 ounces of steak rib eye.
Or salmon cooked in butter
I would eat one serving of a vegetable not a ground like spinach or brocolli.
Felt great.. That would be the days food.. I would also eat full fat cream 70% dark chocolate... Cinnamon as a sweetener....

Now I tried 4 raw egg yolks with raw rib eye and coconut oil.... I felt intense pain and lots of problems

I had alot of hormonal problems due to bad nutrition before and making good progress. I had CFS Prediebetic and alot of inflammation

Like many RVAFers, I have gotten intense stomach-aches after consuming raw coconut oil - avoid it like the plague. A few RVAfers have issues with raw eggs, but they are in fewer numbers.

Ditch the coconut oil. 
I'm a Filipino and coconut oil is more like a laxative tummy churner.
