yes that is true and to be honest I have Overlooked ALOT of things, regarding Adrenals, Thyroid, Cortisol, adrenaline etc. I did experience some issues years ago (approx. 7) and I would wake up at 5 but I did get some relief, after I thwarted the stressors and did sun gazing etc. But this last job I have been at, I almost thought I was going to drop from stress and I know I cant do that.. wow I had no idea bout the adrenaline issue, I know its the fight or flight hormone/neurotransmitter but its "kickin on" in the middle of the night when I don't need it, obv. I am Diabetic and it occurs even when my blood sugars are normal or even elevated.! But I will try the meditation/yoga how much Vit C btw I do about 1-2 grams per day on average. also how much b5 I sometimes do a Methyl bcomplex by Jarrow. what does the milk thistle do for these systems? I have used it before.. but currently out of it.. yes I must get tests done right away, both Blood and Saliva.
