Support for Adrenal Fatigue Sufferers

By Alice Whitley


When afflicted with adrenal fatigue you've got to avoid anything that may get your adrenals pumping and that includes avoiding certain feelings. Stress is one of them but fear is less often considered. Fear will get your adrenals to pump out adrenalin and so it is best not to go see frightful films, try extreme sports or anything else that may get your heartbeat racing.

You actually must avoid stimulants if you suffer with adrenal fatigue as these will make the situation worse and not better. According to your specific case, you'll feel better right there, but you are causing your adrenals to provide extra hormones and eventually you are setting yourself up for an aggravation of your condition. If you happen to feel you need stimulants to function properly then you need to test for Adrenal Fatigue. All stimulants should be avoided, including prescription stimulants, ephedra and guarana'. 



Tests currently available are not good enough to pick up the milder forms of adrenal fatigue. Adrenal Fatigue is commonly prescribed when a range of symptoms are inexplicable in other terms. This is a not a medically accepted diagnosis. There is a medical term, adrenal insufficiency, that may be picked up by blood tests and has similar symptoms to adrenal fatigue, although people suffering from adrenal fatigue aren't always afflicted with adrenal insufficiency. But medically accepted or not, the symptoms are completely real to the individuals that suffer with them!

When you have adrenal fatigue your eyes don't want light. This is because of the incontrovertible fact that the pupils don't have the ability to contract efficiently. You can try this test. Dim the light and let your pupils distend for approx. 10 minutes. Peer into the mirror and shine a flash-lamp in from the side. If your pupils hesitate to contract, or if they have issues holding the contraction, adrenal fatigue might be the cause.

A technique to use if you suffer with adrenal fatigue is to utilize the blood pressure to gage which part of compensation the adrenals are in. You're going to require a classical sphygmomanometer and stethoscope more than the electronic equipment but it could be best if a pro doctor could do the test for you.

From a muscular perspective adrenal fatigue causes awful deficit of energy. It could also cause muscle weakness and discomfort in the muscles and joints. You may feel knackered and drained even after many hours sleep or will feel light headed and have weird food longings for salt, protein, or sugar. Low blood pressure is also the standard symptom and so is lower than standard body temperature. Sleeping problems could occur but should be considered as a symptom and not a basis for other illnesses.

Legions of people all around the globe suffer due to this syndrome and unfortunately, most of them are misdiagnosed, typically as Addisson's sickness or Hushing's sickness. If not treated this syndrome can be seriously enfeebling and effect the way you function in your daily life.

Licorice spurs the same result of cortisol in the body and 25-100mg of the extract is a good help in allergies, persistant fatigue and inflaming pathologies.
