Re: Shivering when on stress
Very valuable post, I will answer your questions 1 by 1
"Do you ever experience intense sweating, nausea, then vomiting before the shivers, tremors and stomach feelings?"
Answer
sometimes, but when on stress i start to sweat from head to tow or get wet
tremors yes, when on stress or having small amount of sleep, but the stress make tremors clearer.
"Theoretically, if you were to take 5-HTP, that would boost serotonin and lower dopamine - have you tried that?"
I do agree on the reliability of neuro test, but having insomnia can lead you to sake any route.
My serotonin levels were low and dopamine was high, yet i buyed 5htp with co factors with dopamine and Tyrosine.
i take dopamine when i feel a bit low motivated.
My urine test of VMA AND HMA also indicates to poor B6, so this can also indicate to low adrenaline and noradrenaline.
also the symptoms match...when iam stressing i tremble and i have an episodes of memory and brian fog
I take serotonin on morning, since it gives me insomnia .
I found out that it may elevate cortisol,
There's also a study that show that serotonin can balance ACTH and cortisol rythm ( i cant post links)
I consume 200mg EOD,100 EOD
i noticed it make me crave food??? which is weird
i do feel hunger when i take my 5HTP, people say it stop craving and control appetite ..to me it does not.
"Do you startle easily? Have a fast heartbeat? Sweat more than usual? Feel jittery? Eat anything and not get fat? Nervous energy? Fast thoughts?
OCD tendencies?"
Answer
I get them usual when i overstress or overexercise, the heartbeat continue even when i rest for so long, so i change my exercise routine
OCD? i feel that iam obsessive
"caffeine triggers an adrenaline release - what effect does caffeine have on you? Do you feel revived by it? Over-stimulated by it? Sluggish? Brain fog?"
Answer:
I feel good, a bit annoyed but good and high.
I feel also motivated
But i avoid stimulants by all means, unless it contains to diluted amount of caffeine
the problem is, i consume coffe or strong tea on morining...i get no or low amount of sleep at night.
and the next day i feel a bit of pain all around my body similarly to overtrain
