If you actually want a long term solution, that most definitely is not it.
Believe me I feel the exact same way, that's why I'm getting a sleep study done. I'll be getting a lot of bloodwork done as well... who knows what my issue is, hypothyroid, adrenal fatigue, blood sugar issue, iron, etc... once I get my labs back, I'm going to start digging very deep.

I have insurance, so you best believe I'm going to get my moneys worth!
