Firstly to Sigismund, thanks for mentioning that, I've bought some orange juice because I haven't been eating much fruit and veg, which might be an issue.
Secondly to Lao Tzu, thank you so much for the lengthy post. I drink a heckload of milk everyday, I love my cereal, so I think I will not need a supplement for calcium. I'd like to mention that I've only had insomnia since taking NAC, beforehand I never had it and slept very peacefully. Problem is the supplement I have is in 600mg format and it's in a capsule so I can't even cut it in half. I'll keep taking it in the mornings, but as I write this it is 5.30am in the morning and I've had 3 hours of sleep. I've read about fish oil and heard positive things about it (not cod liver oil, it's just called fish oil I think) but haven't tried it yet because this routine is working well par the insomnia but that's due to one drug's effect. In regards to the melatonin, I think I am indirectly getting it from my 5-htp supplement.
And yes, as much as I would love to take a pill for every worry, I think it is not so simple. I will look first into yoga and maybe even meditation but I have very tensed muscles. However, I take into consideration vitamin B and fish oil if my condition deteriorates. I'm also considering taking a full hormone blood test to see if any imbalances could be the cause problems like stress, anxiety and depression.
Thanks again,
Chan Fook.
