Feeling Terrible in the Morning

Can anyone explain why every morning I wake up feeling miserable?

I feel so dizzy and just super weak when I wake up. Even before I try to get out of bed I just feel awful.

Around 10 or 11am I will start to feel a little better than that propels me through my work day, but I always struggle the first few hours. Luckily I have a desk job otherwise I couldn't do it.

I've tested 8am cortisol levels many many times and it always comes back fine.

Same. I experience signifcant weakness when I wake up. I don't know why. I had gotten better and suddenly it came back recently. I think it's due to stress. Back trying to treat it and hoping it goes away soon. Sometimes I do feel dizzy, it goes away quickly. But the weakness stays throughout the day and I notice there are times it gets worse, then better.

I hope it gets better for you soon, I don't know why its happening but all I can offer are words of support. You're lucky you're working, I have been unemployed for several years now. Really wish I could get back to my normal life pre-illness. It will happen one day, just have to be patient.

Sending you hugs

I'm the same. Mornings when I just wake up are usually the worst for me. I think the bugs party while we're sleeping. Do you sometimes wake up with this feeling like you're just sick all over like you can tell you're infected with something?

Wow how crazy! I've done a lot of experimenting with herbs and meds sometimes just to see what I react to and have come to the conclusion that this is most likely due to Borrelia. Do you also have neuropathy? That will flare up with my other symptoms mainly fatigue and flu-like malaise/feeling chilled. Bart and Babs meds don't seem to cause a flare but Doxy does so that's where my Borrelia suspicion comes in. What do you think?

Mornings often mean uncontrolled anxiety for me. I'm starting to think it may be from lack of detox, as I have upped Bartonella herb recently, and things have gotten worse. Is everyone detoxing? Not saying that is the answer but a possibility.

I had that real bad in the AM and had tremors too, and BP higher # was in 150's - bad.. Rx Propranerolo helped me keep my job, as this works on controlling adrenal hormone release and in turn BP and anxiety and tremors.

Candida was also part of anxiety for me. And abx did this too. - all that leads to a toxic body for sure.

Now I take 1/3 the amount of propranerolo. Seems like Hashimoto people also have a certain degree of anxiety life long. Glutan free certainly helped stabilize thyroid and in turn energy. I divide my dose into AM and early PM.

How’s your blood sugar?

Maybe it’s low?

I wake up often with shivers, sweats and sometimes confusion.

I did test my morning blood glucose about a year ago when I woke up and it was 3.9 which is quite low.

I just read this mornin that my symptoms could be low blood glucose.
Something about the adrenal glands going into overdrive to compensate.

What worries me is I read that the cause can be pancreas or liver tumours.

I’m going to start testing again

Mine was 99 a couple months ago.. normal range is 74-99 so mines on the high side.

I also have really frequent urination, not sure if dehydration could be an issue. I feel like I dont retain water at all. Every time I drink it, it goes right through me.

It could be something as simple as low blood sugar or dehydration from overnight fasting.

Hi Nic,

It's possible what astroman said about suffering from Candida since you were on abx. Detoxing really helps as well as other methods for dealing with candida if you have that. May be worth doing some research on Candida.

Good luck with the Jernigan protocol! I'm rooting for you!
