I am not sleeping as well at night. I would not consider myself

depressed but I am definately not springing out of bed in the

morning. More recently I been having significant trouble with long

term recall such as remembering my phone number when dropping off tax

information to our tax consultant. Basic things are taking more

effort. My focus and concentration is worse, not that it was good to

begin with. I know its getting bad when my daughter with PDD is

finishing my sentences before I am able to find the words. Usually

its only the short term recall that I struggle with. I have tried to

down play this in the past by telling myself I just need to work on

focusing harder and utilize ways to improve memory, but to be honest,

I am concerned. Knowing how much treating my daughter has helped her

I do feel that this is temporary and I can get a clear head. I just

need to figure out how to get there. I have three amalgrams and one

gold crown and it doesn't look like I am going to be able to afford

to get them removed anytime in the near future. I am counting on

finding the right supplements to get me by.

Despite memory issues I do feel things are getting better! I am not

nearly as agitated. Kinda have that flat feeling tho.. that is why I

went off of zoloft in the past.

I have become a sweater and my acne has cleared up. Yahoo! This is a

new experience. I read somewhere about needing to avoid certain types

of deodorants. Can someone help me with this?

How much cortef?

This is not a lot of probiotics. If you suspect yeast is

a problem, try taking 80 billion daily.

Is this still making you hot at night? Or has that gone away.

Are you saying you have poor quality of sleep? Do you fall

asleep easily and stay asleep during the night, and just not

rested in the morning? Melatonin might help - various other

sleep supports are available. Seriphos comes to mind, especially

since you are also having memory problems.

Not sure about the deodorant issue. I would definitely avoid

anti-perspirants. And I would avoid the " crystal " deodorants

because they probably have aluminum in them.

Always good to have some positive changes - calm, sweating, and

clear complexion! Maybe the flat feeling has something to do

with poor sleep?
