Re: Re:example of stress and adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

I never knew about adrenal stuff either, before joining these groups and reading

about it for the first time in AI. And then it still took me months, maybe a

year, before it really started to sink in, make some sense, and that I finally

tried some adrenal support. And I think I am just now realizing how hard the

last few years have been on my adrenals, and no wonder they are in such bad

shape!

So I was hoping my example would help some others to start to get a grasp on the

whole adrenal thing. I should have given even more background, that there have

been lots of stressors even before this point, and that my adrenals have been in

bad shape for a long time, so the recent events easily pushed me over the edge

again. That was what I liked about the " Adrenal Fatigue, 21st Century Stress

Syndrome " book, that he explained very well how all these different stressors in

your life can add up, and at some point your adrenals just can't keep up any

more. And being toxic is just one of the stressors we are all dealing with.

You know, Jackie, I never thought about the adrenals being the problem 'cause,

before I was on this list, I never really knew exactly what adrenals were! lol I

knew when stress got to my nerves, I felt drained, and doing something like

shoveling the kind of snowfall you did, I alway related to the fibro and

overdoing it. Maybe it also had to do with my adrenals! I tell you, it's going

to be VERY interesting seeing what changes are going to take place for me some

time soon! : Donna

lately, it's because I've been wiped out! So I decided I would post it as an

example of how different stresses accumulate and affect your adrenals (and

probably other things).

----------------Last week I had an *emotional* stressor, a family situation

which was very disturbing and emotionally draining. That hit my adrenals hard,

so I did some stress dosing with HC, and made sure I was taking other stuff for

my adrenals too, like ACE, Vit C and B's, and sea salt in water.

--------------Then on Sunday, we got nailed with a late winter storm and got

almost 2 feet of snow! So I wound up doing more physical work/exercise than I

normally would, shoveling wet heavy snow, so that was a *physical* stressor on

my adrenals and body/muscles.

---------------Since then, I have been just wiped out! I have slept alot, but

even then when I'm awake, I don't feel like doing anything, and haven't even had

enough brain power to post much.

----------------So, I just wanted to give this as an example of how different

stressors, whether physical or emotional, add up and all wear on your adrenals.

And when your adrenals are already weak, like mine, then a couple things like

this that wouldn't be any big deal to a healthy person are a huge deal to people

like us.
