Ever since the COVID uproar, my flat foot has gotten stiffer and I have short bouts of restless leg syndrome some nights. That is matched with tense feelings in the top of my foot where it meets the ankle and up through the calf a bit. It is particularly bad on nights when I have poor digestion (I am gluten- and lactose- sensitive so it is easy to get my guts in an uproar). Quite the sleep disruptor.
Tinnutus as well. Sounds like being on a modern jetliner when it is cruising at high altitude.
Bally, what Kenzo said. Watch your electrolytes. You can get sodium and potassium supplements that may make the fasting less oppressive.
One type of fasting is consuming nothing but the juice from dark berries. That cleans out the guts after a few days.
And yeah, I like red wine too much.
Good luck with your regimen.
Cav ,sounds like iron deficiency ....those symptoms ,restless leg syndrome ,tinnitus with gastrointestinal (GI) disorder which often cause iron defiency . But could also be other deficiencie too like low potassium .
Problem with low iron , if you take blood test and it`s in " reference value " ....doctor may just say it`s okey/no deficiency , but you may have deficiency stil . I dont trust the reference value....and i tested it by taking iron when doctor claimed my values dont show deficiency .
Common deficiencies: magnesium, potassium , iron ,vitamin A ...
Low stomach acid also common issue
Thank you for your replies @"Kenzo"#96 @"F2d5thCav"#97. Just woke up after a crap night. Your advice and comments are noted and appreciated. When I get through today it will be 96 hours and I'll post here to update.
