My treatment is still underway, but all I'm taking for adrenal fatigue (my thyroid levels are fine) are pregnenolone and pantothenic acid (B5), and so far I'm pleased with the results. This is something I may have to continue intermittently for the rest of my life, albeit at a much lower maintenance dosage.

There is a connection between the thyroid and adrenals.
If you suspect adrenal fatigue, you should have testing done at the doctors, to see what your hormone levels are. "Adrenal fatigue" is a term that pops up commonly on the net, and may or may not be actually present. It is very subjective as far as patients go. Many people cannot tolerate 5-HTP. If you makes you feel irritable or jittery, you should stop it. Kavinace has phenibut in it-- and here is an article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenibut I think these supplements may have significant side effects for some people. Notice that phenibut has a suspected action on dopamine? Well that would affect the heart as well. Dopamine acts on the heart. This is what dopamine does: http://heartdisease.about.com/lw/Hea...rt-Disease.htm Drugs that increase dopamine in the body like Wellbutrin, and stimulants may affect heart rate. So getting a medical opinion for your suspected adrenal issue would be a very good idea right now. This is a conversion chart for NatureThroid: http://www.nature-throid.com/conversionChart.asp Typically people are started on a very low dose, in the beginning, to get used to it. Starting too high may lead to heart palpitations, etc, and other symptoms. At this point, for you, I'd consider doing one thing at a time. Get the thyroid working properly at the right dose, and the adrenals may follow and improve. I really do think your supplements are problematic.

Anyway, I did get retested, along with a few add'l tests from what I'd learned since. My thyroid levels were quite good - the kind the doctor comments, "I have patients who'd pay money to have results like this." (Oddly that phrase seems to be making the rounds among medicos - heard it several times within the same year.) My adrenal hormones, however, were in the proverbial pooper. Quote:

Great advice everyone. It's so important to know that there are natural alternatives for adrenal fatigue. As a former adrenal fatigue sufferer, it’s so important to know that others are going through this and have found a way to get better. One thing that really helped me was taking 2,000-5,000 mg of vitamin C. *edit*

Of course, I didn't know that my adrenal fatigue was triggered by a genetic neuromuscular order, but a saliva assay proved that my cortisol levels were low. After years of suffering, I tried progesterone cream made from yams. It's better than synthetic progesterone called progestin.
What made me try it? Things got so bad that I had the beginnings of scleroderma like my sister, my forehead and a spot on my upper right lip, but soon after using the cream, the sclerotic tissue disappeared and I began to lose weight effortlessly. An autoimmune disorder had been halted in its tracks. The cream supplied what I was lacking through no fault of my own. With doctors apparently clueless, I had found the solution out of desperate need. New research in 2011 links normal blood potassium levels with progresterone produced in the adrenal glands, not the reproductive organs. When I was losing potassium, progesterone cream brought it back. This is pertinent if you're a male with adrenal fatigue. Before the cream I had estrogen-progesterone in the form of uterine polyps, fibrocystic breast disease, uterine fibroid tumors due to deficiencies in total body progesterone. But with the cream, if my breasts had cysts, I just applied the cream and they resolved into nothing. And best of all, I didn't spend days in bed unable to move and miserable. Several times I tried to stopping. When I did, I got so weak my brother had to pick me up from work while my own car remained in the parking lot. Once he got me home, within 30 minutes of applying the cream I was perfectly fine. The polyps occurred when I stopped using the cream on another occasion. Caused a lot of bleeding. GYN said it was the biggest thing she's ever removed from someone not in an operating room. She instructed me to keep using the cream. Anyway, with progesterone cream my fatigue was 90% controlled and my journey through menopause was effortless. |

Hello. First i must say that i am not 100% cured, but my progress is very good. The first year i had adrenal fatique i noticed that i hardly made any progress. Than i realised that the cause of my adrenal fatique must still be present. So i found out that i needed to eat gluten free. After getting rid of the gluten i started to see huge gains in progress. I recovered more in 1 month than in the whole year before.
I recently read that using grandulars can also work well. I am a bit cautious, because there are a lot of different products and i not know which one to buy. I think i found a good one: gland adrenal from Nutramin. Does anybody know this product or has good/bad experiences with using grandulars and having weak adrenals? I also heard that heavy metal poisoning can be a cause of adrenal fatigue. |
