Re: Calcium channel blocker

Thank you very much for your kind reply!  I've always wanted to have a hair test done so I'll keep that in mind as it does make sense to me.

I really could kick myself because I'd actually been doing very well mood-wise until shortly after I broke my gluten and dairy-free diet back in February.  I did the same thing last August, which was after a period of a lot of stress, and soon began to feel depressed, then this unrelenting and overwhelming fatigue, and by October had a full-on thyroiditis attack with palpitations/tachycardia and sort of like panic attacks, also obstructive apnea (from the thyroid swelling) so trying to sleep was hard.  But with a couple of simple remedies I found on EarthClinic.com everything quickly calmed down.  By then I was sleeping mostly at night so my mood also improved a whole lot, and through most of the winter I felt way better than I had most of the year.  Then I guess I took my progress for granted and now got myself a little deeper "in the hole".

About the supps, 1) I always take Vit. C but not that much, only recently I began to take about 2g/day; it's kind of hard for me to remember when to take what but I'll try to do better..   2)  I don't plan on taking licorice because a naturopath told me years ago to avoid it due to my b/p's tendency to go up rather than down.  3)  I use Real Salt in my food but I have a question, should I ingest 1 tsp. in addition to that?  I do know I cannot eat much salt a few hours before going to bed or my hands will swell up while I sleep and go numb and wake me up...  4) I knew Pantothenic Acid is essential in dealing with stress but had forgotten whatever I'd read about panthetine, time to hit the books again and/or do a search, I'm planning to place an order of supps in  a day or two so I might include it in it.  5)  I'd also been taking a B-complex daily (but sometimes I'd forget...) and recently began trying to take it 2x/day because even Adele Davis "back in the day" always said it was absolutely essential for adrenal health.
