Double doses of magnesium citrate.

I also have had anxiety attacks in the past if I lacked sleep too. My roommate is moving away tonight but really made it difficult for me to feel peaceful and get a good nights sleep again last night as a parting gift. I cleared my schedule for tomorrow to sleep in and rest up before going out...

I have been a very light sleeper most of my adult life(32 years). I struggle at times with explaining to others, like partners, how much I am affected if their night habits keep me up. Zink supplements seem to help me sleep deeper/less random awakenings. And now I am on astralagus. I guess my...

I started studying Law of Attraction right before I finally got my diagnosis. It has really really helped me feel empowered.

I don't think this anything other than proof of Mix Connective Tissue Disease also medically acknowledged as caused by antibodies.
