Just updating this post.
I removed Potassium as mine was high, and increased my Thorne Magnesium CitraMate to two capsules a day. That change seemed to finally get my head twitches under control for the most part.
I've finally reached the point where I can sleep when tired, when I want to. Like today, I still struggle with some gastric discomfort at night, but it's moving, which is good. This means that I often wake up around 8am, and finally evacuate what's left, and then feel great. In the past, going back to sleep at 8am was basically impossible. I'm now finding myself comfortable enough in my own body, pain is low, anxiousness is low, to where I can fall back asleep on demand basically. I haven't experienced that in MANY years. When I'm able to get this extra uninterrupted sleep, I often wake up feeling really great, like my brain will be even sharper due to getting the deep sleep it needed.
There is still a mitochondrial dysfunction going on though, that seems to be resolving with treatment, but still follows a cycle. My body won't absorb water and I think nutrients, when this is going on, so I have to kind of read the cycles. It seems to be getting better, and my gastric stuff is better every night. I think I had massive gut and intestinal dysfunction that is taking a while to fix. Each day it's more and more formed poop, less painful movement through my insides, etc.
Still 100% confident this is the path for me, and likely many of you all.
