Hi, Zuiilekka...

Thanks for the response. I have been taking the D and unfortunately it didn't help my particular problems. Although my moods have been much better this year.

I don't do soy in any form because I found I was allergic to it years ago.

I did see someone's note on selemiun earlier (yours?) and started taking that daily.

The only ginseng I take is siberian, cause the other stuff raises my BP.

Milk thistle had an extreme diuretic effect on me, which I noticed again especially in the afternoons.

I really appreciate your input and feel you always have research and knowledge that is helpful.

Since paying attention to this now, I know for sure that something happens from 8pm-8am every day. The opposite happens from 8a-8p. Its like whatever wrong is attached to my circadian rhythym. I've been using the light this winter, so I'm sure it can't be that. And with the Vit D and light regimen, have had fewer early morning awkenings this year. That part was really noticeable and enjoyable. I am so glad you found that stuff on Vit D and I will never go through winter again without it! (unless I get to move to the islands or something)

Gotta' get ready to go to dr. Will let everyone in on tests results.
