hello, i am pretty new here and i don't know much of your story. I understand though. I also was doing pretty good and then have woke up with the low grade anxiety the past two mornings. I have low cortisol in the mornings and it is on the high side the rest of the day, never dying down at night like its supposed to so i suffer from insomnia. As for energy levels I don't work so i can do quite well. If i am tired, i take a nap. the energy thing isnt my biggest issue, it is the anxiety. I was having bad panic attacks and am now on ativan. i did not sleep for over a week, so had to get something. they wanted to give me an antidepressant, but i sad NO. those things suck. I just need something to take the edge off as i get so stressed that my adrenals take a beating and will never heal that way. I don't normally like taking chemicals but everyhting herbal did not work for me. neither did melotonin. i found out from saliva testing that i am gluten sensitive and was doing ok not eating it. it helped, but then someone on the forum suggested Ezekiel bread so i bought some. it has all sprouted grains, no flour so i thought it would be ok, but it has bothered me. The wheat, althought sprouted, obviously was a bad idea. what i eat makes a huge difference. I never eat sugar, drink caffeine or any refined products. I also am sensitive to artificial sweetners and food additives . so am very careful. therefore i am feeling a bit angry with myself for making this stupid mistake. What is the reason for your setback? I notice you speak alot of DSF by Nutriwest. Wondered what that was and if you are still on it? talk to me if you would like. leslie
