Strike a light! There I was feeling sleepy and blah -- and suddenly this evening, bing! it went away. It's past 10pm and I am wide awake. I suddenly have energy too. I'm bouncy. Earlier, I could barely drag myself to the kitchen to do the washing-up.
Will I feel this way in the morning? What's going on? It's so weird, so sudden and back-and-forth. Well I guess I shouldn't complain about feeling lots better at the moment!
I don't want to sound like a broken record, but it is probably your adrenals. They are stressed from the chelation and aren't responding properly. This is why I cannot chelate at all. My adrenals go from making just enough to get by, to barely making enough to keep me from having an adrenal crisis.
In your case, it sounds like they aren't kicking in until late in the evening. Then once they kick in, they are going crazy producing TOO MUCH cortisol (playing catch up). This will cause you to feel wide awake and wired late at night when you should be winding down. Low or high cortisol can cause insomnia in people, but it's hard to know what you have without proper testing. Symptoms tend to mimic one another.
Waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall back asleep is likely low cortisol. Not being able to fall asleep from the get go is likely high cortisol. Adrenal fatigue has many stages and you can switch back and forth from one to another. Chelation can/will completely burn your adrenals out if they aren't properly supported.
I think a lot of you have severe adrenal problems on this forum, but just lump it together as a symptom of mercury toxicity.
Western medicine just makes people sicker and sicker , suppressing symptoms without finding out the causes of the symptoms and substituting those symptoms with worse ones caused by their their medications.If someones hormones are out of balance . it is probably because of medications taken in the past or toxins such as mercury. Holistic health practitioners such as Constantine Henry believe that cures move in a predictable order - downwards and outwards, from the most important organs or body systems to the lesser ones , from the mental to the emotional to the physical and from the most recent symptoms to the oldest ones. Prescription drugs make people more toxic and make ones symptoms change in the wrong direction ; people get sicker and the symptoms affect more impotant organs instead of lesser ones such as skin. If you watch programs such as Mystery Diagnosis , you will see many cases where a person had a minor inflammation such as eye iritation from contacs and was given steroid drops and then later had more serious illnesses and was given more steroids and the symptoms once again diminished until new worse symptoms appeared. In wholistic health suppressing symptoms is considered harmful since they are part of the process of detox and healing.
