have more energy and can think clearer. The mornings

are usually very slow going for me no matter when

I get out of bed. Afternoons are slightly better but

still usually very sluggish. Does anyone else seem

to experience this energy thing in the evening hours?

Just one of the many things we deal with. At least I'm clear part of the time.

I think it may be related to hormones and cortisol levels???

Even though I am more alert at night I still get nothing done because my body is sore and tired from dragging it through its day. uugh.

so done with this crap. sigh.

last 4-6 yrs. have been the worst since correct diagnosis 5.5 yrs. ago.

last 3-4 yrs. up to 2-5 am nightly; can't sleep. when body shuts down, i go to bed hoping to sleep. MANY of us suffer this way.

Lyme can serious effect the entire endocrine system - and really screw it up - and even has been known to shut it all down (a well loved and respected LLMD died because Lyme shut down his endocrine system) often our adrenals are hit hard (cortisol levels) and the issue of healing becomes compromised...

A good adrenal support can be a wonderful thing...if it werent for the one that I take, I could never get up at 4am and run the rest of the day...til 10-11 at night...

What's the name of that stuff again?

I've ALWAYS been a night owl. I have always drug out of the bed even when I felt a little better than I do now....But as a teen I could not operate at all before 10 a.m.
