Subject: Something to consider.. Adrenal Fatigue

I have been newly diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue/ Exhaustion(as well

as hypothyroisism and metabolic disorder). This is due to the

tremendous and unrelenting stress I've endured over the past seven

years,and chronic pain and several back surgeries. Thsi is one of

the most debilitating and underdiagnosed disorders that is most

common in this century than ever before, due to our industrialized

society and high stress lifestyles. I think that everyone who's been

dealing with chronic pain and illness, lack of sleep and health

problems and stress, should consider this...especially women who are

at a higher risk.

SYMPTOMS...

FATIGUE!!!

Lethargy

Dizziness

Headaches

Memory Problems

" Fuzzy Thinking "

Low Concentration

Carb or salt cravings

Hypoglycemia

Allergies

Frequent flu or colds

Anxiety

Depression

Weight Gain

Usually tired in Am after a good night's sleep, sluggish in afternoon

between 2-4 and have more energy in PM

Insomnia

Hair Loss

Reliance on Stimulants like coffee

Intolerance to cold

Also commonly coupled with Hypothyroisism.

To test for this, the doc has you take an ACTH challenge testas well

as a physical exam. You should see an endocrinologist if adrenal

fatigue is suspected. Primary Care docs are just not informed to pick

up on this common disorder.

Well, unfavorable option of hydrocortisone or

corticosteroids, or...

NO caffeine

Add sea salt in am

Don't skip breakfast

No Artificial sweeteners (stevia ok)

Keep blood sugars balanced

No foods high in Potassium

No heavy exercize

DECREASE STRESSORS

Rest and Sleep, at least 9 hours a night for a while

No extreme diets

SUPPLEMENTS:

Pantothenic Acid

ALL B Vitamins in doses of 100 mg ea daily

Vitamin C 2,000- 4,000 mg daily

Co-Enzyme A

Co-Enzyme Q-10

Vitamin E with Tocopherol 800iu

Niacin

Melatonin

Folate

Biotin

Adrenal Glandular

There is a lot on the internet about adrenal fatigue

and some of this I got from my book " Prescription For

Nutritional Healing "

But I have to add in that no one should treat

themselves for this without seeing an endocrinologist

as unnecessary high doses of vitamins are not good for

you and adrenal fatigue can cause several other

problems and deficiencies.

,

Are you choosing the natural method of treatment? What made your doc decide

to test you for this? BTW what is stevia?
