Michele,
I have three ideas for you. First, read the Vitamins sticky at the top of the index page. Note the soft ice recipe. Second, consider the likelihood that you have suffered a subtle neck injury. It can cause many of the symptoms you have. It will not image because it is just a subtle injury that causes upper cervical instability. This can be problematic during sleep. It made bumpy rides in the car a problem. Just turning my head back and forth to scan the back yard when picking up after my dogs would trigger symptoms. I did a lot of neck icing and focused on good posture during sleep and rest. Gentle traction and mobilization by a PT or chiro helped. No 'twist the head and pop the neck' chiro work. No range of motion exercises until after months of limited motions to help strengthen and stabilize the neck. Third, you may have a sleep disorder due to your neck or other PCS issues. A recording Pulse Oximeter to track your pulse and oxygen levels as you sleep could be helpful. I developed Central Sleep Apnea that was triggered by poor head and neck posture. I would have stressful dreams, fitful sleep, foggy days and sleepy spells during the day. Once I resolved this, my improvement was noticeable. Have you had your hormones assessed by a neuro-endocrinologist. Many have found it to be helpful.
