Donna,

Your test meets counting rule #3 with more than 4 in red.

The lithium is low enough to suggest a supplement.

Your K/Ca ratio is pretty low. Blood tests may be more informative

as to thyroid function.

It sounds like your symptoms may fit the four low electrolytes

pattern. Taking plenty of Ca, Mg, and Zn should be very helpful.

Lifestyle changes can also help. Nice warm epsom salt baths in

the evening may improve sleep. Learning some yoga or qigong can

help a lot too, as can some breathing exercises. If you use any

alcohol, caffeine, or nicotine, those wreak havoc with sleep.

Andy says elevations of bismuth are real about 1/3 or 1/2 of the

time, so it is worth considering whether this is real. It is best

chelated with DMSA along with alkalinization of the urine.
