Adrenal fatigue?

For me the symptoms you describe are usually caused by toxins. Don't know about adrenals. I am going to have mine checked in September. Cannot wait! Hopefully one more piece of the puzzle in place!

Bryan Rosners latest book has a full chapter on adrenal fatigue. If I recall, bottom line he said supplementation would only make it worse and it just takes time to improve. Someone please correct me if I mis-interpreted. I don't have the book with me and its out on loan.

Tbrown for the months of June and July my detox included colonics 2x weekly, coffee enemas on days when I did not have a colonics, ionic foot bath 1x weekly, FIR sauna 6x weekly, Cholestyramine 3x daily, Epsom salt baths 4-6x weekly, brushing, rebounding 2x day for 10 min, and liposomal glutatione. I am doing less now but that's how much I had to do to keep on top of toxins and I STILL had symptoms. You might need to up your detox.

Girlie you need a prescription for Cholestyramine. I take the one manufactured by Sandoz. Some people have to have it compounded because there is an artificial sweetener in it. I had a reaction to one manufactured by PAR. I was able to get the prescription because I tested positive for mold. It is off label use because it's primary purpose is to lower cholesterol. What it does it it takes out cholesterol and with it all the toxins that bind to fat, like mold, Lyme, pesticides, organic solvents, etc. I think that every Lyme patient would benefit from this medication. I feel relief within 30 minutes of taking it, sometimes my pain completely subsides and this is a huge deal for me.

I take liposomal glutatione Essential Pro. It is awesome, provides great relief. The dosage is 4-16 caps. 16 caps equals one IV. I have also done IVs in the past and they have been of great benefit.

I can relate to your feelings about enemas. My mother is an MD so I spent my entire life in the midst of mainstream medicine. It has been a gradual process of discovering that the way to go for me is alternative. I had to give up many of my preconceived ideas I grew up with. So until I was completely debilitated and could not walk anymore just the thought of doing one was completely weird and repulsive to me. They saved my life. When I woke up the next day after the first one I actually had a 2 hour window of no hip pain for the first time in months. I was sold.

Good luck on your journey and I hope that you can find things that work for you!

TBrown - my adrenals/nervous system has gotten somewhat better over time...now that I know what's wrong with me...and I'm not going crazy...I am dealing with things better. Making sure I get lots of rest, and listening to music, a little meditation here and there...and I think just time to heal has helped me...along with the treatment of course.

Good luck, hope you start to feel better soon!

Soooo anyone else? I didn't really get the help
I was looking for lol

Hi Tbrown,

My adrenals were shot after lyme treatment. I did treat my adrenals with a supplement. I had severe insomnia so that was the red flag I guess. After 3 weeks, the adrenal support made me very ill. I discontinued it and after 1 month off of it my sleep was pretty much normal. I guess for me it was a combo of herbal support then time but it did go away. Maybe you just need to find the right adrenal support??

What I used had the phsphatidyl serine that Girlie mentioned in addition to rhodiola. But that doesn't work for everyone. Adrenal fatigue is very common with lyme.

If you suspended or finished antibiotic treatment, are you using any immune system boosters or supportive body system herbs to help your body heal? That might be something worth looking into.

Girlie yes that is exactly what's happening
