Well, I believe i've finally (after doing my own research) figured out what this is.


Adrenal fatigue.


Please read more about this here

www.Adrenalfatigue.Org

i picked up the book mentioned on this website yesterday. I was reading this while in the store and also most screamed "this is me!!!"

this feel's right. I cannot explain it, but for the first time in 6 months, I feel that I have found what doing this to me/done this to me.

Please, read about this if you suffer from stress. Don't let it do to you what it has done to me.

I'm going to follow the diet listed in the book, which is basically rulling out all carbs (white flour) and such. I've been eating like crap the past 4 months (complete junk food with salts and sweets). I've been feeding this thing all alone, and possibly have made myself hypoglycemic in the process. The other day, while at the book store, I didn't have sugar all day. I started feeling very tired, run down, and light headed. I went to the cafe and got a iced coffee with a lot of sugar in it. 10 minutes later, I was fine. This is scary, but I know I can beat it.

I'll say this much.

In the past 3 days, i've been able to wake up, and walk every morning. I've been able to stay on a strict, healthy diet... I'm not craving any sweets.

My neck pain is completely gone. This is a pain that has been here since last jan, and now it's completely gone. I cannot tell you how great it feels to be able to move my head, and not have my neck hurt. Also, my energy appears to be coming back little by little. I have burst here and there, and i'm in a great freaking mood.

I've been on the natural meds listed in the adrenal fatigue book for 5 days. Is it that? Who knows... All I know is... I'm feeling better, and it's a great feeling!

Happy friday everyone!

Hello sorry to hear your having probs first off swollen lymph nodes are a sign of infection somewhere in the body and can be easily fixed by a antibiotic second the feeling of tired all the time and you say after you run you get bags under your eyes and break out into cold sweats this could be many things it could mean that you are anemic or you have low blood sugar or like the the doc told you you cant exhale like normal people do causing some sort of breathing prob or all this could just be anxiety and you not even know it cause you did say you where stressed so that’s why im swinging more towards anxiety ….Cause if the docs tell you that there is nothing wrong then there is nothing wrong and its got to be anxiety and stress stress leads to anxiety and anxiety can make you feel all kinds of things ……

Adrenal fatigue it is.

3 weeks ago, I purchased a home saliva test kit that tests my all day cortisol levels and dhea-s. The results where eye popping. I have adrenal fatigue, and this is what is causing my fatigue, muscle aches and sugar cravings.

I'm now on a healthy diet, and taking natural supplements to bring my glands back up.

I just wanted to report back and state that,

1. I'm still alive ;-)
2. I found what's going on :-)

Go to adrenalfatigue.Org and read to see if any of these symptoms apply.

i bought the book from the website. That is also where I got the idea for the saliva test..

I have an appt with an endo after the new year. She's going to run tests on my hormones and dig a little deeper into my adrenal issues, and possibly a thyroid issue.

As for my progress, it's coming along. I have better days, and bad days. It's better than what I was having. I eat extremely healthy now, exercise daily (just 30 minutes of cardio, too fatigue to do weights still) taking lots of vitamins and supps, and getting plenty of rest. I've remove all stressors from my life.

Hopefully, in another 6-7 months, this will all be just a bad dream Smile

take care all!
