> The calmag is a pretty low dose so it would not be my first suspect, though it certainly could be. I am extremely sensitive to mag. It depresses me and makes me very tired at any dose. I eat food choices with a focus on magnesium and it is ok that way, but not extra with supplements.You could try skipping one of those doses, or cut them both in half?

Fruit juice, about every 2 hours. It is ok for me that way, but not in supplements. If I take a C supplement, it is at most 125mg.

It is strong enough to lift stored heavy metals in tissues such as mercury and lead, and get them into circulation, but not strong enough to hold onto them all the way out. In other words, heavy metals are stirred up. I know from my own chelation experiences that when metals are stirred up, chronic tiredness is the top symptom.

i actually tried stopping everything the other day and noticed no real difference. i have recently been diagnosed with a breathing difficulty (a specialist performed a lung function test) - party caused by overactive trigger points on my clavicle & poor posture, and also potentially due to sinus and/or reflux (he's trying to ascertain which one at the moment). i notice my energy is a lot worse while in repose and at work, so poor breathing patterns could be feeding into it.
exercising greatly helps my energy levels, and i notice i become a lot more alive/active at night. i was looking up symptoms of adrenal fatigue and they seemed to match, i.e. i sleep in late when left to it, the aforementioned changes in energy levels throughout the day. i am thinking of asking my doctor to perform a saliva panel test. since i also experience awakenings throughout the night - never attaining deep sleep - that no doubt could be contributing to my daytime energy issues. therefore, i'm also thinking of maybe getting a sleep study done.
something like lyme i've considered. but i guess i have to prioritize since i get too carried away with potential diseases :) since sleep & breathing are such huge red-flags, i figured i may as well try treating those first, and then seeing if the problem still persists...
