Default The importance of good nutrition and supplements

I have just had the worst week of sleep in a long time. Just over a week ago, I started having serious problems with insomnia and restless legs. I was taking my Neurontin and Tylenol before bed to help with the restless legs but they were twitching like a kicking donkey.

After fighting with this for a week, I started seriously trying to figure out what I may have changed in my daily habits.

Duhhhhh.... I had run out of my vitamins and other supplements about a week ago. The lousy sleep left me feeling miserable and not up to replenishing my supply. The kick in the butt of the week of lousy sleep and this realization of my vitamins got me back on track. I replenished my supply and parceled out 48 days worth of my regimen. I take 19 tablets or capsules each morning plus two tablets of Paxil. I parcel them into zip-lock bags. I had been taking the Paxil but not the others.

Wow, what a difference. Two good nights sleep in a row. I feel much better and alert.

This was by far not a scientific experiment but it quickly showed me how important my vitamin and supplement regimen is.

Those of you who have not started a vitamin and supplement regimen might want to give it serious consideration.

I should have know better. I was taught this regimen 28 years ago by a psychiatrist when I was struggling to put a coherent sentence together.

My best to you all.
