Wired... really enjoyed your posts on the AF battle and your success in overcoming said demon. I haven't done the saliva test for cortisol, but can both the low and high symptoms mimic each other? I have a myriad of symptoms, but my sleep is also messed up.. sometimes tough to get to sleep, but I supplement with a small dose of melatonin, this usual does the trick, but then I will wake up @ 5-6 AM like an andrenaline buzz and my body also aches as well. I am in "hormone hell" as well, that is another story. I too concur on the candida. Its present in everyone and only when it the immune system gets compromised does it pose these grave threats IMHO . Thanks for your reply when you can !
