Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Lately I have been feeling like I'm stuck in a deep hole and have no hope of getting out due to the ongoing fatigue and brain fog from my hypoT and adrenal fatigue. I have been dealing with a doctor two hours away primarily through labs and phone consults. She has been treating me since early December. I really like her and I feel she knows what she's doing, but I was getting discouraged because I wasn't feeling better yet. On the advice of a friend, I went to a local health store to talk to one of their staff members who had healed her adrenals. She said the supplements I am taking to heal my adrenals are good (they include rhodiola, cordyceps, panax ginseng and licorice root). She recommended that I add celtic sea salt and pantothentic acid and be sure to get plenty of rest (she suggested that I don't get up too early, but that's impossible). I wasn't posting to advise others what to take, as that is an individual matter, but I was encouraged by something else the health food associate she told me. She told me that it takes at least 6 months to heal the adrenals, so I shouldn't expect to be feeling well yet. She said to also add 1 more month for every year that your adrenals have been fatigued. This little bit of info has given me hope that I can get better with time, whereas I was feeling pretty much gloomy and defeated lately. Anyway, thought I'd share that in case anyone else needed a little boost and some encouragement about this long process of healing ourselves and starting to feel well. Hang in there everyone!
