Adrenal Fatigue Blog

New Health

I haven't posted for a long time, I've been a little distracted trying to find and keep health. I found a chiropractor who knew what I needed and she got me to try taking Adrenal Cortex and a very strong multivitamin. Those two things have helped a lot. Dr. Lea Kabala sells these things on her website so you can investigate that. Feel Awesome is her business name and now you have a link. She is also on Facebook. I also took some time figuring out how to lose weight on that new product that everyone is using through clinics. It is called HCG and some info on that can be found if you Google "Dr. Simeon's Protocol". I think most of my health problems would have been smaller if I had been able to lose weight in the first place. Something about Adrenal Fatigue makes it hard to follow just any old diet but this one worked like a charm. I actually used the sub lingual form of HCG and you can buy that on the 'nets. A lot of people are going to clinics and getting shots to make it work and that may suit you, (and your pocketbook) better than my way. Anyway, I probably won't have much more to say about Adrenal Fatigue as a problem unless I fall way back into some old habits. Knowledge is power with this problem and it's knowledge that is hard to come by when you just keep asking the same Western medical people the questions.

New Progress in the Battle

I haven't been keeping up with this blog for awhile, I had nothing to report. Recently, I ran across a Network Chiropractor in Tucson, Dr. Lea Kabala. With her help and knowledge, I have found a line of supplements that have helped a lot. Her website, http://www.feelawesomewellness.com/ has information and a page with access to the supplements she is a proponent of. Click "Our Products" then shop around a bit. She told me to try Essential Therapeutics Adrenal Cortex 250mg and Essential Therapeutics Basic Optimal Multi Vitamin/Mineral Iron Free. I've just been on them for a month or so and I feel a lot better now. Dr. Kabala will work with you via email, if that is your preference or you can order what you need by referencing her web page. I will post more as time goes on as I have thought a couple of times that I was getting some relief.  I may feel differently in another month, I don't think so though. You can only search so long and when you find someone who can help, especially with as little hassle as this, you have to go with it.

Long Time-No Blog

I haven't been keeping up lately. I had been trying to fight my adrenal problems by myself since I figured out what my problem was. While my treatments had allowed me to loose some weight, I still wasn't progressing toward health very well. I finally went to the compounding pharmacy and got some Adrenal Rebuilder, made by Future Formulations,LLC in Tucson. I have written about the creator of these supplements before, James L. Wilson, N.D.,D.C.,Ph.D. He wrote the book that is a wealth of information but I thought I could harness the information and cure myself.The book is, "Adrenal Fatigue,The 21st Century Stress Syndrome" and if you think you have an adrenal problem, you should definitely seek it out.  I guess this guy knows more about it than I do, needless to say. Soon after I sought out the Future Formulation, LLC line, I started taking the Adrenal Rebuilder and seriously started feeling better. You're supposed to take a concentrated amount for 2-3 months and thereafter, as needed. There are other nutrition supplements as well, I'm just not able to afford all of them right now. You can get more info at www.adrenalfatigue.org and although I had thought to try to sell the line through this blog, you can order there for now. I'm not sure I have enough visitors each day to really do a good job of it.

Armor Thyroid, what's the word?

My nurse practitioner put me on Armor thyroid medicine last month. Has anyone else taken this stuff and what side effects have you had?  I think my heart rate is way up and my sister, who once took the same prescription, had heart fibrillation's and had to stop. I guess if that is normal, okay. If not, I'll need to check back in with her.

Kelp as a Supplement

I have been taking kelp for a few weeks now and I think it really is giving me a little boost. I seem to have a bit more energy, day by day. I think that is all you can go by, the day to day small increase in energy and umph. I am taking a tincture with astragalus, Siberian Ginseng and Reishi mushrooms at night, along with the kelp, Dhea and Calcium, Magnesium and zinc plus some serious B vitamins. That may seem like a lot but something in that mix is helping me, slowly, get a jump start on everyday living. So, as I go along and try this and that, I keep refining my list. You really have to, I think, because I think everyone is different. It would help to take a hair analysis test or the saliva test but I have been seriously under or unemployed, every since I started on this voyage. That is a bummer because I have health insurance but most of the extras in this disease are not paid items on insurance. I can go to my doctor but she can't get the tests I need done without me paying for them.It's not really mainstream enough for regular doctors to deal with.  It is sort of a vicious circle, in a way. All of the "alternative" healers and doctors and acupuncturists are out there for a reason. This is one of those reasons. Anyway, I'll be working on me, and when I get to be regularly employed, I'll take it a step further.

A Visit to Yard Woman

A beautiful day in Southern Arizona and I went to Tubac and visited Yard Woman, my friend Sharon, in her beautiful new store. In re: adrenal fatigue, she has products and lots of info about what types of herbs and tinctures one might need in fighting such a problem. I got a bottle of an age old remedy  that is recommended in several internet spots and a lot of the reading I've done. It is a tincture of Astragalus Root, Reishi Mushroom and Eleutrococcus,(Siberian Ginseng). These three are recommended as well as schisandra, which I have been taking for a month or so already. Together with the prescription for Synthroid, these tinctures may help to make me a whole lot healthier and soon. Sharon has said she will write something for my blog, about the products available to help build your immune system.
