Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Here's an interesting article on this subject: http://ezinearticles.com/?Post-Traumatic-Hypothyroidism & id=409052 I believe very much that stress hammers thyroid & adrenals to pieces. I can trace my downward spiraling health back to a major surgery, then a divorce, two more major surgeries, a death in the family, etc., etc., etc. I also believe it is cumulative, as I recovered once, twice, three times...but eventually could not pull out of the illness without aggressive adrenal and thyroid treatment. > > I am wondering, and I hope this is considered on topic, how many folks on here had been going through a time of stress or something their bodies perceived as stress prior to getting sick? We all perceive stress differently, I think. I am a worrier by nature, and I hate that, because it seems that the more I worry, the worse I get. I know my adrenals have suffered because of it, and I'm wondering if my low thyroid contributed to the downgrade of the adrenals. My periods before of illness were alway proceeded by a period of intense stress in my life. Stress can be illness, surgery, constant mental drain due to worry, unresolved conflicts, etc. Would love to hear some of your stories! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
