Symptom Specifics: Circulation & Eye Floaters

[Annabel]

Hi Jhague,

Thanks for your kind words about the website!

As you already know, symptoms of burnout and HPA axis dysfunction can present very differently between patients. As a syndrome, adrenal fatigue can impact many parts of the body, as you are currently finding out.

Chronically elevated cortisol can lead to lower collagen synthesis, which may in turn lead to the breakdown of some collagen in your vitreous humour, which can lead to floaters. So floaters can be the result of high cortisol levels and therefore low collagen.

The numbness that you describe in your extremities can be the result of imbalances in neurotransmitters and your central nervous system. Blood pressure might be a part of it too. It’s a fairly common complaint.

It sounds like you have done lots of research on this. My advice would be not to focus on treating these symptoms individually, but to stick to a plan that involves stress reduction, good dietary nutrition, sleep, and perhaps some supplementation too. There is usually no ‘magic bullet’ for adrenal fatigue. It takes time and patience to get better.

I hope that helps!
Annabel
