When I got bad insomnia due to high glutamate and whipsawing histamines (from a high taurine supp or metal detox or both) it followed a 4-7 day "ON" and 4-7 day "OFF" cycle. This cycle burned itself into my brain, because I was made half crazy from loss of sleep culminating in a couple all-nighters before the insomnia broke and the pattern flipped. Then a night of great sanity-restoring sleep, some more good nights, and then the insomnia slowly ratcheted up again.
After 18 months of suffering, coffee enemas virtually eliminated insomnia within a week after EVERY other sleep cure failed.
My question is, I am left with a list of other low-level AF symptoms (weakness, tinnitus, flu aches and pains, brain fog) that follow this same insomnia pattern--4-7 days "ON" and 4-7 days "OFF". These other symptoms worsen while "ON" and then go into near remission during "OFF", though weakness and PEM is always in the background.
What is this cycle that affects all symptoms including insomnia? Is there a multi-day detox cycle? I read and read about cortisol curves and diurnal patterns but NOTHING about a longer-term repeating cycle that I have had since onset 3 years ago.
Anyone else have this? If we knew what it was we could work with it...
