[QUOTE="GreenMachineX, post: 215002, member: 15245"] My newest e2 lab: Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LCMS 33 pg/mL (<29) Perfect e2, right? This was after stopping resveratrol for several weeks (labs on first page were 2 days after dropping resveratrol), then 3 days after dropping fish oil (which was 4 days after cutting fish oil dose in half), and 5 days after dropping dhea. Hope that wasn't confusing. The lab didn't get free T, total T, free T3, and shbg and I've created a support ticket for that. We'll see. What drove me to get those Labs was because I only slept 2 hours. It was awful. I've since been having the hardest time sleeping still which is why I'm posting and not sleeping now. Looks like I'll end up taking a ton of melatonin again tonight. The pattern appears that either dropping fish oil or dhea caused the insomnia and other "overstimulation" feeling. I didn't have it today, Praise God, but still can't sleep. Problem with megadosing melatonin are the scary side effects it gives like cold chills/tremors, more chest flutters, and chest tightness/breathing abnormalities which last until about 10am. I've been back on fish oil for 3 days which I think controls the overstimulation feeling. Tomorrow I'll test very low dose DHEA to see if that helps. The reason I dropped it was several days after dropping fish oil it resulted in a different type of overstimulation (hard to describe difference but the dhea overstimulation felt like my heart would pop, chest tightness, anxiety, uneaseness, while the more recent feeling was in my brain). What's more bizarre is in the middle of the night when I can't sleep, my heart rate is only 60-something so I don't feel jacked up, just can't sleep. Wish I had that free T3 done, but even if my thyroid results were hyper, my heart rate wouldn't be only 60-65 ever, correct? Even after typing all this, and laying here, for a few seconds, heart rate was 59. I'm perplexed. Side note: my anxiety is at a very low spot. I can actually control how far I ruminate something whereas before, hypochondria won every time followed by panic attacks. TLDR: something is giving me an overstimulated feeling even though labs are all fine, and apparently fish oil hides it. Could top of range free T do that? Or maybe cortisol surges now that I'm off dhea? I'm hoping that I'm back on fish oil I can tolerate dhea again and that allows me to sleep again, otherwise I'm at a loss. I gotta figure this out because sleep deprivation isn't good for anything, but my biggest concern is my immune system. I've been clear of covid for 1 month, and I don't want omicron. I've been getting 2-4 broken hours of sleep for 1 week now. I'm over this. [USER=3]@Nelson Vergel[/USER] [USER=843]@Vince[/USER] [USER=38109]@Cataceous[/USER] Any thoughts at all welcome.
