[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 219406, member: 18023"] This could have been partially about coq10, but I don't think it's enough to account how serious this had gotten. I have been dealing with sleep issues now for at least 2.5 years, but in the last 3 months it had gotten much worse. Several nights I woke up with night sweats, the sheets were soaked. My blood pressure had previously been erratic, spiking up to 162/99-, but lately my baseline had been moving up and the spikes up were worse. It was even hard to fall asleep at all, and when I did, I sometimes wake up every 90 min and it was hard to fall back to sleep. I was taking those supplements early in the AM, before 11AM, and I have been off the ones in that list now for about 6 weeks, now I sleep much better, not perfect, but before sleep was so disturbed my fitbit watch couldn't track sleep because I was moving around too much. Now my blood pressure has dropped back to ~122/77, if it spikes up on a reading it's more like 141/91 and it's temporary. I still take magnesium, kratom, and progesterone in the evening. I will likely experiment with stopping the progesterone, the only reason I was taking that was it did help to fall asleep, just not enough to overcome whatever was going on. Oddly, 3 months ago kratom seemed much more effective, like enhanced, so I cut back 50%. Now, it seems like it's back to "normal". I mention the changes in kratom because that gives a hint maybe there was some sort of synergist effect. Maybe one hormone/supplement enhanced the effects of others? I didn't see anything odd in blood tests I had gotten, but it was a standard panel, included vit D and testosterone. Nothing in there like cortisol, preg, dhea, etc. Too bad, I had taken a 4 sample cortisol test during the worst of the sleep issues, but it got screwed up in shipping, vials with saliva popped open, so they sent me another kit, but now the problem went away. I had also made an appt with a doctor, got a script for Ambien, but at the time of the appt the sleep issues was already fading. I got the ambien anyway, but I have no idea if it would have been effective. So likely I will never know exactly what was going on. Honestly, I am still a little shocked about this, and I am still a little scared it might come back after some period of time. [/QUOTE]
