Weather related pain
Hello Dr. Huberman! During storms I experience severe joint pain. So much so I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning. It also puts a darkness on my mood. As soon as the sun comes out the next day or so I feel my old self and the pain has subsided. In fact I can’t wait to get outside and into the sun. Is there anything that could help me to push through these times. Thank you Dr.
Sleep issue no doctor can helped me with
I’ve been to both a psychiatrist and a neurologist for this issue, and they are unsure of the cause have been unable to help me. Just as I am about to drift asleep, my mind jolts me awake, this is sometimes but not always accompanied by jolting of my limbs. This increases my heart rate and prevents me from going to sleep. This is not an every night occurrence but every other night. This results are taking multiple hours to fall asleep, and getting only five hours of sleep every other night. When this doesn’t happen, I am able to sleep 7 to 8 hours without issues. This is resulted in poor quality sleep. I have gone on reddit and found others that experience the same thing and are equally lost. Some mention this happens when coming off of SSRI’s or illicit substances, such as stopping heavy cannabis use. Dr Huberman and Dr. Walker. Please help me with this as I’ve exhausted my resources, and found nothing. All that has happened as I have been charged extensively by doctors only to walk away with no improvement of my symptoms.
Can my EPA levels be too high?
I recently did some thorough blood/stool/urine tests with an MD specialized in integrative medicine, and one of her conclusions was that my levels of Omega 3s, specifically EPA, were too high, and my levels of Omega 6 too low. Is this possible? What would the downside of too many omega3s be?
