This post is so overdue that frankly, I'm not even sure where to begin. I'm backing way up a few months, so bear with me!

I actually got comments that I was looking better physically, not as drained. I could feel my vitamin stores improving. As for sleep, I did stumble upon tart cherry juice (the concentrate, no dilution) though, which helped me to start sleeping like a normal person!

When he went outside, near the wall adjacent to the water sound, he felt steam. So we finally knew the culprit - a pinhole leak in a hot water pipe under the kitchen. The next day a plumber came out to fix the pipe. He said it was humid under the house, due to the steam, but he seemed to think it would dry out fine. Howe...
