    I had to kick the coffee/tea to help with hot flashes and no sleep issue. Took a long time to get over no caffeine. The Magnesium helps with several issues, but sleep is one of them. Trying to find a balance in all this is exhausting, and so am I. Can't spell. Time for sleep, yeah...work...

    An Article Regarding A Theory About Lactic Acid Buildup In The Body

    Like someone took a bolt of fabric, a cross somewhere between fog and screening for a storm door, wet it, drapped it over me and I keep trying to cut thru it and the more I try the smaller the holes of the screen get, and the fog gets thicker. Can't get out or let anyone it.
