Keep an eye on yourself, sometimes it can result in lower long term thyroid function. Calcium does have some interesting interactions with and modulatory effects on the thyroid. I think a fast would probably also help correct an overactive thyroid too! Hi Bryan,

Try calcium for the leg cramps!

I still have some of those symptoms regularly but they are neurotranmitter related as far as i'm aware. Sometimes I still have completely unrestful sleep and feel exhausted and weak. My moods are erratic and don't make sense to my situation. I used to have panic attacks in the night (this is about the one thing that has subsided), still have a few skippy heartbeats/palpitations, really bad leg cramps (have them right now!). I wake up regularly in the night and I still have narcolepsy. IBS... But its just stress and being completely intolerant to modern life, LOL. Elena Hmmm i’m not too sure about this HAITs thing.

I figured time would tell. Your long duration of symptoms does point toward HAIT, but the question is ... what is causing the chronic attack by the immune system? I guess that's the big question with all auto-immune diseases and I suspect the answer is likely to be complex and not easy to solve. I do find it interesting that my similar symptoms ended fairly quickly with the raw milk fast. It could just be coincidence, but raw milk does have immune modulating effects that could perhaps account for a normalization of the immune system. These effects are lost with pasteurized milk. Just some food for thought :) I too contemplated this diagnosis for myself when I was at the height of symptoms. I figured time would tell.
