My story on adrenal fatigue

[Fawne Hansen]

Hi Vicejab,

Thanks so much for sharing your story. The thyroid and adrenal glands are actually very closely linked, so often weakened adrenals (and HPA axis) are confused with hypothyroidism, and vice versa. That’s why testing adrenal function AND thyroid function is always a great idea.

Anyway, it sounds like you’re on the right track! Enough rest and a healthy diet can solve all kinds of health problems. And the meditation that you are doing is likely helping to reduce the stress that you were suffering from.

Just make sure that you have a plan for when you restart school. Keep your exercise to a reasonable amount, reduce your study load where possible, manage your time better, continue to eat well. The temptation will be to revert back to your old habits, but just try to remember how good you are feeling now, and you’ll be OK.

Best,
Fawne

Hi!
I Wanted to give you an update.
i already feel better again then a few weeks ago. sure i have my good days and my bad days but a lot more good days nowadays.

I found a youtube video of one mr John Bergman who explains everything like you and it makes so much sense! a slow thyroid is just a normal reaction of the body dealing with stress. if the adrenals are taking over the thyroid is doing a step back. and then the fact that i used hypothyroidsm medication for 10 months. wich might have had an opposite reaction. everything is connected.

I blend and juice a shake once a day with fruits and veggies. sometimes i ad this ashwaganda and take a vitamin b-complex.
I stopped doing my little weightlifting workouts and stopped drinking alcohol.
just taking it slow.

i also spent lots of days on the beach with my friend and doing al sorts of crazy stuff and just feeling fine!

just an update, love your site!
