Soaking in a warm bath with epsom salts added can help. Stress drains the body of magnesium and increases levels of adrenaline. When dissolved in warm water, Epsom salt is apparently absorbed through the skin and replenishes the level of magnesium in the body. The magnesium also helps to produce serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of calm and relaxation. It can help create a relaxed feeling, improve sleep and help muscles and nerves to function properly.
Also a good massage or Reflexology session or an Ayurvedic foot and leg massage http://www.head2toemassage.co.uk/treatm ... t-massage/ can work wonders!

hi healthymummy
well i always wake up 1 to 2 times to go to the loo, but i usually drink more water in the evening than during the day , so i guess that is the reason i wake up, or not?

my diet is , lots of veg , not much fruit i admit , very limited carbs , maybe once or twice a week, sometime only for lunch time a slice of bread or pizza for dinner , but rarely.
no cheese is in my diet daily, sometime , weekly i have some spreadable cheese.
i eat chicken, pork and some fish, but not enough fish , atleast not as much as i used to eat.

thaks for your interest, i should probably check my food intolerance with a bloodtest.

thanks everyone for your support

Merry Christmas

Another idea would be to try to reset your gut health? A little bit of detox is always a good thing.Try a 2week Bootcamp .You know our gut is often considered our second brain,and what happens in the gut doesn't stay on the gut,it shows up on our body/health.
I hope you get better,

Happy Christmas
