I hear stories like yours often and that’s the thing about stress, it slowly creeps in and then one day just knocks us down. We all need to be aware of it to prevent that decline. Take caren of YOU :)

I was just diagnosed with Stage 2 Adrenal Fatigue and Insulin Resistance! And I am a healthy woman! Never get sick…tons of energy. This last year, I got sick 2x with the flu, started a new job that was very stressful in its beginnings for about 6 months, was exposed to a less than stellar working environment for 3 months (think contamination and radiation). I excercise regularly and eat organically, for the most part, It’s a bit hard when traveling but I do what I can.
I went to have my hormones tested because I just started feeling “ick”:, that TIRED BUT WIRED thing seems like I had for years. BTW, my dad died VERY suddenly 6 years ago and I had PTSD from it. In hindsight, I think this was the beginning of my Adrenal issues. The hormone Saliva test revealed LOW cortisol production and other hormone markers that indicate Stage 2.
Since I am NOT producing enough cortisol, I am not producing enough Cortisone (anti-inflammatory) and I since have had neck issues and other aches.
I am on the track to correcting this by being on a NO CARB/NO SUGAR/NO ALCOHOL/NO CAFFIENE diet and taking Anti-Stress Herbs and OPTIMETABOLIX. They say 6-9 months is a good plan for resetting the adrenals. I have also placed healthy boundaries on my work schedule and take time for my SELF each day in the sun, relaxing and being peaceful!
Thank you for your blog and article!

Sorry to hear of all your recent stress, focus on the positives and I know things will calm down soon. It’s also a good idea to support the body with good eating habits and relaxation :)

I have a real increased flare up of physical symptoms of inflammation at the moment (osteoarthritis) and I have a huge increase in stress levels (just lost my Mother after 12 years of dementia, very sudden death, had to be a post mortem, delayed funeral. Family squabbles! Would have been my Mom’s birthday this week, and it is anniversary this month of losing my husband 8 years ago!
Lot of stress to handle and lots of physical symptoms, hopefully will all calm down in time.

Carol
