Followup - after lowering the dosage of the raw thyroid glandular, this seems to be working GREAT for me. On Thursday I had an EXTREMELY stressful day... a combination of full-on stressors (ex: unexpected, unjust bill for $600 and a 45 minute phone call disputing it - no dice) that would have surely caused a crash in prior months, and I found myself tense, full of adrenaline and shallow in breath for a while... and had a hard time falling asleep later that night... but that was IT. The next day I felt FINE - like a normal person, who can have a 'bad day' without paying the "crash" price the next day, or days / weeks later.
The only issue I am having with this thyroid support is that I now seem to awaken at 5 to 5:30 AM every morning, like clockwork... feeling refreshed and ready to go.Does anyone have any insight into why this is happening or how to 'fix' it to awaken at 6:30 like I used to?
