[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2821406, member: 24531"] There is no "easy fix"...you need to give up eating HFCS, MSG, and artificial additives as much as you can...do not try and change everything at once; you are already overwhelmed. You need to take it a day at a time and make one adjustment at a time and don't stress out about it. Research "Adrenal Fatigue" and buy this man's book: [url]http://www.adrenalfatigue.org/what-is-adrenal-fatigue[/url] My guess is your circadian rhythm is inverted and your cortisol/epinephrine is out of whack...this can really cause panic attacks.
