Adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

I am putting out a call to those who have suffered with low cortisol

as well as the thyroid problems. I gather there is a lady called

Bella who is very knowledgeable.

I have been following guidelines from a nutritionist and taking Dr

's dynamite adrenals (containing B vits) and licorice when I

wake and at 11 am but I am so fed up with my food. I know coffee

doesn't help the adrenals but I know it gives me a lift.

Any advice would be appreciated. I find dealing with anything very

stressful and haven't been working for nearly a year - don't think

the isolation helps but I haven't anything to offer anyone at the

moment. I was a complementary therapist and very hard on myself as I

feel I ought to be able to get myself well and not need to take

anything long term. However, it looks as if the armour thyroid (when

it arrives) will be. I feel a failure here.

I can only cope with very little at a time so I ask for your

patience. Stuff goes in one ear and out of the other - I can't seem

to understand sentences - almost childlike.

Just concentrating on getting my food shopping and my meals is enough

for the day - some days I do get for a walk but much later in the

day. I do believe that walking is good for the adrenals. I was

going to the gym as I am so worried about weight gain (in recovery

from an eating disorder) but that is too much now. I did the GP

referral scheme before Christmas which was working but now I am

having to cut down on what I do even more.

What is anyone's experience on weight and the armour thyroid - sorry

to sound so shallow but I know this bothers me. I just don't want to

go back to where I have been.

Feeling better getting this off my chest and I will make good use of

asking questions. Thank you.
