Slight correct. On Wednesday I do 2 sets of DIPS not pull ups.

Wound up and stressed....I was typically I realise now prior to taking PS and adding carbs back in. It affected my sleep terribly as a result. From what I read, that was possibly a symptom of a prolonged very low carb diet and boosted cortisol hormone as a result. Cortisol is naturally at its peak in the mornings (30 minutes after waking typically) as part of the waking process. Add in a coffee (which I do) and you will be ready to rock. I use this period to my advantage by waking up and getting on with whatever needs doing to midday.

If you still feel the same way at night or your sleep is bad, I would try Potato Starch 4-5 hours before bed, and if good with that try starchy carbs like Potatoes/rice (in small amounts to start) every 2nd day or so (preferably after your workout where they have the most use).

I don't really feel stressed these days even in the mornings. Black Coffee on an empty stomach could be doing that. I like that feeling, and I also find after a while that you get used to that caffeine. Its a big energy boost to me, but everyone is different.

Borax - I pushed on with the high dose regardless and pushed through the headaches and gut aches. Today I feel relaxed and have that washed out feeling like what you get after recovering from a bout of a stomach bug. The borax is doing something...I'm presuming that its attacked some fungus, which in turn has produced some toxins in defence, which gave me headaches, tiredness, sensitivity to light, lack of hunger and a general horrible feeling ...almost nausea but not quite....and now I've got through it and maybe killed something (fungus maybe) in the process. The aches and pains I normally get at night, weren't so bad last night and stayed away today as well. Lets see how it is after a week of 5 days of borax and 2 days off.

I haven't had any lab tests done so don't have a clue what I may or may not be battling.
