Re:example of stress and adrenal fatigue

[Guest guest]

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.
