Yesterday wasn’t so great for my health and my brain was foggy and ‘yellow’ as I went to bed which is usually a good sign I’m not actually going to fall into anything near ‘deep sleep’ and have violent muscle spasms for most of the night.

I have a number of serious medications to counteract this sleepless state (I’ve gone 72 hours without sleep due to it before) - 50mg Amitriptyline, Chlonozapam, Vicodin, Valerian etc.  None of it works.  Period.  Does not do a damn thing.  It’s enough to stone an African elephant but it won’t provide me a bit of relief.  The muscle spasms - God - those are bad.

Anyway - while at Costco I picked up this amino acid with some melatonin.  I had an older person tell me they took it to sleep.  Within minutes I was out.  Holy cow I thought.  Why does this work and none of that other fancy shit does?  Not only do I knock out asleep but I wake up NOT HUNGRY.  I don’t have muscle spasms and feel better.

Weird.  So in order to get my digestive track to work I had to take the Amino Acid L-Glutamine.  In order to clear up that nasty acne I came down with and to stop my hair from falling out the Amino L-Lysine and now I have L-Theanine.  So screw it I’m just going to order a bottle of Amino Acids - sorry vitamins. ;-P

I’m also buying some powdered milk and powdered egg to add to smoothies.  Protein is a main source of amino acids and I had about zilch in my diet previously when I was working out all the time.  I relied on peanut butter which doesn’t have much in the way of protein and I suspect might have some anti-nutrients in there.

Last night Highlander was worried.
