Please let us know how this is working out for you. I saw a doctor who does acupuncture and complementary medicine and he said when I first saw him that I had adrenal fatigue also. He was also the person that made me change my vitamin D amount. My vitamin D was very low for a long time so he asked me to try using 50,000 units two or three times a week. This got my hydroxy 25 test for vitamin D up to 53 I believe. He also mentioned that my hormones were off and I needed to fix my testosterone levels. It took six months to get my testosterone levels back to normal by doing injections twice a month. I had just started B12 injections and he told me to double that so I was taking 2000 mL twice a month. This got my B12 to be in the 800s rather than almost nothing. But testosterone took so long because of the high dose of narcotics I was on, at least that's what I was told. But at least now I can sleep a few hours and sometimes I even get a five-minute dream in. It's been years since I've had a dream. I've been in several sleep studies and they say that I never got above phase 2 out of the six phases. Phase 4 or level IV or whatever it's called is when you get into a deep enough sleep to dream.
I went back to my notes to see what he wrote up for adrenal fatigue. Vitamin C 1000 mg three times per day. Pantothenic acid(B5) 250 mg twice per day. B. complex 100 mg. Coenzyme Q10 100 mg daily. Major herbs are ginseng, licorice. A better approach is a combination of a variety of herbs such as Astragalus, ginseng, licorice,Rehmannia,Atractylodes and others. In the last month I started taking One-A-Day gummy bears. They're easy for me to remember to take in and previous multivitamins always had something in it that upset my stomach and these don't. I did not try the herbs but taking the vitamins and testosterone has greatly helped me feel better. If anybody is taking anything different than what I have listed please let me know as I would like to try it. Thanks and be well, Quote:
