Insomnia at end of cleanse
Dr Bailey (and anyone else who might know),
Yesterday was day 30 of the cleanse... and it might have been the worst day yet. I slept 2 hours last night, even though I was incredibly exhausted in the evening and tried to take a nap at about 9PM, but couldn't sleep even then. I'm stuffed up with a sinus headache and sore throat and headache, which happened once during the cleanse. Also I have TMJ which has also been a chronic problem and it's been worse in the past 2 weeks. Diarrhea like I had at the beginning of the cleanse returned in the past two days which had been gone for about a week.
Just checking with you if I should still go ahead with the kidney and liver cleanse to cleanse the organs and help my sleep. (I previously posted describing my adrenal fatigue to Dr Bailey and asking if it would be okay to do these one after the other, or if it would be too much on my liver and my system as a whole).
The first two weeks on Humaworm my sleep was pretty good, now it's slipping again. I'm on very good Chinese herbs for sleep and even they aren't working the past two weeks. I really hope this is a temporary disruption in my sleep and not a more long-term one. My biggest priority is, really, to get consistent good sleep so that I can then focus on other problems in my body and my life. I suppose I thought that once I was done taking the herbs the sleep would improve. In my experience when I am desperate for a night's sleep (if I have a day coming up where I need to be functional) the only thing that helps me for certain is benzodiazepines (Klonopin). But only if I am desperate. I don't want to rely on them, but I might have to. Please advise what I can do next or expect! Thanks
PS. after thinking and reading some more about it it seems to me that these symptoms point to an overloaded liver. My sleep wasn't bad in the beginning but the herbs seem to have built up and insomnia, according to Chinese medicine, is a gallbladder symptom, as is pain in upper shoulders, which I have. This is why I don't know if kidney then liver cleanse would be bad or good, if it would really tax these organs or help them!
