Re: Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoporosis Treatment

I believe that she is taking the Enebrel in lieu of the steroids. She is not taking any other shots nor am I aware of her taking anything to lower her blood pressure beyond what I have listed. I will look at your past posts to try to find something to assist with stabalizing her blood pressure. 

There are different causes of high blood pressure so different things that will work depending on the cause.  Magnesium malate will work in most cases though.

I have already notified her to reduce her caffine intake and to the best of my knowledge she has stopped drinking coffee and caffinated teas.

Is there anything you could recommend for assisting with sleep? She attributes the sleeplessness to the high blood pressure, but after searching for it I read that sleeplessness results in higher blood pressure not the other way around. I have personally taken melatonin from time to time (for better or worse) with good results as I sleep durring bright hours. I have noticed very vivid dreaming and had difficulty waking but was not aware that our body naturally produces so little of it. I would be interested in knowing if there are any effective supplement that you have experience with that would assist in falling asleep or perhaps assist with the body naturally synthesizing melatonin.

Chamomile is the highest herbal source of tryptophan.  This is the precursor for serotonin, which can be converted in to melatonin.
