I know this post wasn't for me, but I just wanted to respond and couldn't stop myself.
>Last Friday I went to tai chi, then spent Saturday and Sunday outside working. I felt so good on Monday so I lifted weights on at 6 pm and had a bad night sleeping. I wonder what weightlifting does to the brain chemistry?Why does that have to be attributed to anything? It's one night! We all have an unexplained bad night of sleep now and again. Everyone does!
>Any idea on what type of doctor could help me with this? We have a university med center close by with an alternative medicine division too.
> Took 600 mg on Tuesday and felt pretty good on Wednesday and went to Yoga, but Thursday was ok. I wonder if the Mg I took tipped the balance back somehow.Why? What do you mean tipped the balance back? Couldn't it just have been working all this time? And couldn't exercise be the real reason you're feeling better? Or couldn't they be working in concert?
>Or maybe all that excercise had a cumulative effect? I will not work out at all for a few days and see what happens.
Well of course it does!
> Could it be that cortisol is released when I work out and I am not coming down? I have heard working out raises cortisol and then I have heard working out combats depression and anxiety.
I believe cortisol is a stress hormone. You don't usually release it while exercising (I don't think you do anyway) unless you're stressed out about something.
>Man, is this confusing. I did realize I get my RDA of calcium pretty much in the morning with yogurt, bran, oatmeal and calcium orange juice. I am a little afraid of cutting my milk. Do you see any concerns? I was a big milk drinker, about 2 gallons a week. Again, I read calcium is calming, but Eby's article paints it in a different light. MORE confusion.
Every body is different. Don't expect Eby's exact vitamin cocktail to work for you. It sounds like you are getting exactly the results you want, so why don't you give it a little bit of time before you adjust anything?
