Being Chinese, have you gone to any Traditional Chinese Medical
doctors? According to the theory that I've learned, if one is not
asleep by 1, it depletes the yin (which might explain the lethargy and
disorientation). As you were growing, I'm wondering if this might be
magnified a bit and it sounds like you might had some teenage angst
that might have affected the system (according to tcm).
Also, you might not have fully eradicated whatever ailed you before.
Are you using any oils currently?
-For the leg soreness, have you used Deep Blue or Peppermint?
-I would suggest PB and GX assist, to clean the system and help assist
the system, then go on the Lifelong Vitality Pack.
-Putting a drop of melaleuca, on guard, and oregano on your feet
morning and night (everything else just to further clean up anything
that might not be beneficial to you).
-If you're still a bit groggy during the day, a drop of peppermint on
your feet in the morning to wake you up along with drinking water with
a couple of drops of slim and sassy (it's been known to give energy
during the 3PM slumps),
-Lavendar or serenity (people like serenity a bit better) during the
evening. Lavendar is supposed to be a pain-killer, so it might help
with the pain in the legs, also.
-If it were my son, I would, also, give him a drop of Balance on his
feet in the morning and in the evening to smooth things out.
(Most all the oils that I mentioned above is in the Family Physician
Kit.)
I would try it for a couple of weeks, and if it doesn't help, go to a
TCM doctor, if you haven't gone. Traditional Chinese Medicine
diagnoses differently than Western Medicine, and since there are 6
channels on the legs, everything that you said, kind of makes sense.
Hope this helps,

Hope this helps.
