TK-- this is a fairly typical Hg side effect, reverse circadium cycle

with low day cortisol and higher night cortisol. This is how mine is

also.

I was like this..up all night, sleep all day thingy, or couldnt stay

asleep and took forever to fall asleep. The only thing I have used for

my adrenals is nutricology adrenal cortex. I did try Ashwaghanda

recently and boy did not like it. It made my feel worse.

Licorice root will stimulate your adrenals. That is why your

sensitive. Taking the ACE during the day..before 3pm can help reset

the cortisol rhythm. I would also suggest adding melatonin for a while

at night..to get yourself used to sleeping again.

Jada, do you mind telling us how much ACE and melatonin you are/were

taking?--------Jackie

I began with one cap of ACE in the morning. After a about a week I

added a second around 3pm. I have not needed more than 2 per day

unless I was post round. Sometimes following a round for a day or so I

might need three per day, of if I have been sick. But then after a few

days I could go back to one or two.

How much you need will depend on your own adrenals. For example, my

dtr takes 4 caps a day. So you begin with one..and add one when you

notice the amount your taking is not working so well. I use

Nutricology. It has 250mg per cap. The Thorne brand has I think 50mg

and seemed to cost more overall.

Currently, I don't need the melatonin anymore, now that my sleep

pattern is normal. I take one cap of adrenal cortex in the morning,

and pregnenolone for my adrenals, alone with thyroid glandular.

Melatonin..1 mg was enough to knock me out. Take it about 1/2 hour

before you want to sleep. And also remember for healing adrenals you

need to get yourself in the habit of sleeping by 10pm! Aiming for 8

hours a night. No caffeine..it burns up the adrenals faster.

Some people need more than 1 mg..you can go up to 5 or 6..whatever it

takes to knock you out and or keep you out for the night. As time goes

on and chelation gets on, you will find you don't need it anymore.

When I first began using dmsa, I found it made me unable to sleep well

at night. Same with my kids..they had trouble falling asleep. Using

the melatonin got us through that. After enough rounds, it stopped

interfering with sleep.

The ACE itself is what made me get to sleep in 10 minutes and stay

asleep. It used to take me hours to fall asleep, and I'd wake up a lot

at night. Once I got the adrenal support going..I was finding myself

waking up earlier, staying asleep at night and falling asleep quickly.

I have been thinking of taking Ashwaghanda too, but after researching

it i decided not to because of what it might do to me. i cannot handle

sulphur foods and thought i might get a similar reaction.

Q: How are you with sulphur foods? can you tolerate them?
