• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

Adrenal Fatigue..

Glad to hear you stopped smoking!!!! That should help in the long run also. Yeah I can be pretty irritable also. And I understand about the nerves thing!

I haven't been sleeping real well lately, and now my head feels just awful.

Yeah not every doctor agrees that adrenal fatigue even exists. I went to 3 doctors and a specialist and none of them even mentioned it until I went to a naturopathic doctor.

OOo how did the candida diet and liver flush go??? I've read about candidiasis too and wonder if I also have that. :scratch: I keep thinking I should be feeling better anytime now lol! But it'll come.. there are definite improvements and I know that if I could just get to sleep early and stay asleep til morning that would really help also. It's getting better though.

Where did King David say the Lord was healing him with herbs? I don't remember that. I respect you for staying off chemical drugs. They kept adding more and more when I was going to the doc but now I haven't been on any for a few years!! Don't miss them at all!

I am so sorry to hear about all the bad weather you've been having.. I can't even imagine what that would be like. I really hope you all have better weather now. That was just awful. My heart really goes out to all those families and friends dealing with the tragedy of loved ones passing away in these storms. I'm also thankful though that God has brought good things from these tragedies.. as only He can do.

Yeah the adrenals seem to be tied into every process in the body! It seems like EVERYthing affects it in one way or another. A lot has changed in the past 100 years though.. :)

Keep perservering! How did the adrenal test come out?

Just got the test results this week. Disappointing.
Doc said they showed to be low in the morn and somewhat high in the eve. Not a big deal though he said my gluton levels were elevated meaning I should have stomach aches and problems which I don't. The high gluton could throw my Adrenal test off he said.
It cost $120 out of pocket forp the Adrenal test.


I don't why I feel so bad now.
The sleep disorders and removing my Cpap mask in my sleep could be a problem.
So many symptoms sounded like Adrenal fatigue.

I can't find the verse about herbs. I think it was in psalms I heard a preacher speak about it.


I felt fairly good with the candida diet but that was before I started having other issues. Liver flush was rough. I got very few stones and it didn't help me any.

Curezone.com << Has people discussing different illnesses and looking for answers. You may find some help there.

All my levels seem to be normal now. My Endo thinks I should be feeling fine now. But I don't

So does that mean you have to eat gluten-free foods then?

I hope you can get some answers soon. I know how f-r-u-s-t-r-a-t-i-n-g it can be!!!

I just started on a new supplement tonight to help with adrenal fatigue, and then to sleep. The past two weeks or so I've been averaging maybe 4 hrs of sleep a night.

Oh ok. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the website. I have learned so much by researching online!!!

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well yet. I sure hope you all figure out what's going on.

Take care. Don't give up!! There is something causing those issues.

My Endo didn't say I should give up glutons. He didn't say much about anything. He seems stumped and asked if I had another appointment setup. I'm feeling like it's a waste of my time and money now to continue to see an Endo. He promised to get me feeling better.
It cost $120 per adrenal test out of pocket. I suppose I could go without wheat bread for a month and take the test again.


I told him I eat very little wheat bread since I'm diabetic. Maybe one slice a day. No rice, no cerals, no other gluton that I know of. He just didn't know what to say.

My diet is sad already there isn't much I can give up now.
I can eat any meats and many veggies. No rice or tators.


Without sugars or carbs my meals are worse than a bore yet I'm hungry often. When I was younger I went all day without eating til dinner. Now I'm always starving.

I'm tired all the time and my bones and joints ache from arty. I'm thinking about disability and I hate the thought.
It's hard to survive on the limited income.

Anyone else have adrenal fatigue?? A lot of people go undiagnosed because doctors rarely ever test for this.. I went to an ND and she did a saliva test on me to get to the bottom of it.

But I just wanted to start a support thread for those who do! It can take months or longer to get past this so encouragement and support would be excellent!

Something I'm really struggling with is getting to bed early, and that's part of the treatment.

Best thing for adrenals is Maca Root Powder! Check it out

I've found when I eat healthier I tend to be hungrier. And when I eat not-so-healthy, I am fuller for longer.

So you're mainly just eating meats and veggies right now?? I don't know if I should even suggest this, cuz the herx reaction is awful, but have you tried any detoxing? I am taking something now that cleaning out my liver and it is just wiping me out!!! Symptoms are getting worse but that's what happens to begin with. I went through something like this a couple years ago when my diet changed.

I'm sorry I don't know what to tell you. I am praying for guidance and for you to be healed.

sure, no problem. I've been treating illnesses naturally for years. There are natural cures for all diseases including cancer

Benefits of Maca Root: Find More Energy and Hormonal Balance
I believe that too. I am experimenting now out of desperation.

35% food grade hydrogen peroxide drops in water is suppose to be good for many things. i know of an older lady who has been taking the drops for months and says she feels great. It gives her energy and she even bad moles disappeared. H2O2 is Water + 1 atom of Oxygen.

its possible according to Kent Hovind that Adam and Eve and the early patriarchs lived longer due to high Oxygenation in the upper atmosphere. Makes some sense. A barrier or canopy supposedly broke causing the flood and and lifespans decreased after the flood.

The oxygen is the best thing for our bodies in healing.
H2O2 is H20 + O = Hyrdrogen Peroxide and our bodies even makes this. It's a natural occurrence in nature and helps clean up the waters of the earth. A good cleansing agent. some people these days spend $25 or more to relax in Highly Oxygenated rooms. Its takes some getting used to since we don't breathe pure Oxygen but they claims they feel great from this.

One man claims H2O2 cleaned his arteries and kept him out of heart surgery on Youtube. He seems serious and a Christian. Says he can run up stairs now which before he was hurting. I don't doubt it. Do the research.

I've heard of the h2o2 therapy.

I love Kent Hovind! Met him twice at his seminars. I think he gets out of jail in a few years. I supported his stand against the government, but it was pretty foolish. The government is so corrupt and they do whatever they want. Irwin Schiff fought the IRS for years, finally the government decided to just throw him in jail.

Hey here are all of Kent's videos on one site

With diabetes I hunger and thirst often.. Constant really. I sweat terribly too and I'm only 10 lbs overweight. My temps are off. If I'm not warm or hot and almost chilled. I sleep without AC on and its been in the 90's lately. With AC on I cover up til I'm warm and later sweating or else I get to feeling cold. My Edno couldn't explain that. When I work I pour sweat. I can take a cold shower, get out sweating and be almost sour before leaving the house.

I have tried Liver cleanse, parasite cleanse and some detoxing. Even a candida diet.

My Adrenal test revealed my levels were low in the morn and high in the eve. The doc said he thought it wasn't that bad. I recently read that the Adrenals should be High in the Morn to get us going and peak about Noon again to give us a boost through the day. I upped my Iodine to help the thyroid. A weakened thyroid can strain the adrenals.

Also read that if your blood test were not taking before 9 a.m. it may be sub-clinical and the T3s may not reveal a shortage. in other words you may still be low on thyroid hormones and not show later in the day. So I decided to take my Kelp for Iodine and even double the dose til my new Liquid Iodine gets here. The Thyroid depends on Iodine. I have increased my Iodine intake some.

More and more reading suggest that most people are iodine deficient. I thought maybe some extra iodine wouldn't hurt for a short period. I actually felt a little better. it seems I have ups and downs. fair days and bad days. I'm trying many things in hope of some relief.

I found it odd that my Endo's nurse said she had gotten the same problems as I have in the last year. Almost exact. She is taking much more Ritalin than I am.
I went back to Ritalin to stay awake. Ritalin is the only thing to really help me at a reasonable price. There were many days I just wanted to go to bed off and on all day long. I would sleep about 5 times a day til I got on Ritalin. I also felt so miserably tired I was worthless.


Hypersomnia is miserable. I had never heard of this before. All my life I have had Insomnia, just the opposite and now it's reversed this year.

Imagine feeling like you got no sleep last night at all + the night before + the night before. The other morning I woke up feeling like I had actually rested for a change. The firs time in months. It was short lived and I wanted to go back to bed a hour later.. That's hypersomnia.
I may go to sleep and wake up in 3 or 4 hours and be unable to sleep. The insomnia is still there at times though I may be drop dead tired.. My muslces, nerves and joints feel worn out and exhausted. Arty is creeping in badly. Diabetes can cause some nerve damage and I feel it.
I feel like such a whiner now but I'm hanging in there.

Hypersomnia isn't uncommon with Hypothyroid from what I read and closely related to Narcolepsy.

I believe there is a simple cure and I need to find it.

Yep!! My cortisol levels are half of what they should be in the morning. My ND said that that means I have an endocrine imbalance. Have you checked into that? I keep thinking there's gotta be something! Are you able to exercise? I haven't been since I've been detoxing. Just trying to rest and relax and get through this. God is providing lots of love and encouragement along the way, just when I feel I want to give up! He is so awesome!!!

Have you tried journaling what you're eating and doing each day, and how your body is responding to it? Maybe you'd have more of an idea of what helps and what doesn't and can figure something out that way.

That's good you've been able to sleep though!! The opposite problem is terrible too. I have had such insomnia. Many your body needs that sleep to heal? Do you think it could be a good thing?

God bless you Billy! Keep at it. Continued prayers for you.

Not sure about an endo imbalance is but yes most of my Edno system went bezerk around the same time.
Sleep disorders, hyperthyroid, diabetes. My Doc really has no answers other than drugs to get my going.

It's great that you are surrounded by those which encourage you. I only get encouragement from one person in my life ever. My family seems to be bent on teaching me that I must forgive them daily.


Have you tried journaling what you're eating and doing each day, and how your body is responding to it? Maybe you'd have more of an idea of what helps and what doesn't and can figure something out that way.
I do keep up with the changes I make. I am trying new things and waiting to see how my body reacts.

I noticed a few days are better than others or most days.
And I haven' t determined why..

My CPAP seems to be just a annoyance but it can keep one breathing all night and some people do stop and never wake up. I wouldn't mind that but my son wants me around. His a good kid.


That's good you've been able to sleep though!! The opposite problem is terrible too. I have had such insomnia. Many your body needs that sleep to heal? Do you think it could be a good thing?
[/quote]Yes but insomnia wasn't nearly a problem as the reversed state. I just made do on little sleep where now I always feel exhausted like I've been up for days..

God bless you Billy! Keep at it. Continued prayers for you. .
Thank you
May Yahweh bless you too

An update on my situation. I said I was trying H2O2 or hydrogen Peroxide 35% food grade. it is Water plus one extra atom of Oxygen. (H2O + O = H2O2)

It's created naturally in our bodies but not in large amounts. It's found in Honey and an abundance of Oxygen near water can merge into Peroxide via Sunlight.

It's a great cleanser. You wouldn't think extra oxygen with water would be caustic but this stuff powers Rockets in strong doses(90%). The extra Oxygen goes to work inside the body healing and cleaning. Yes I do believe Kent Hovind was right about the longevity of Adam and his early kin living in strong Oxygen Rich conditions which made them live long and healthy lives..


&#x202a;Re: The many Benefits of Hydrogen Peroxide and Oxygen Therapy&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube
This old Gent tells how it saved him from open heart surgery. He seems so sincere.


Anyways to my story... I was having a difficult time not staying extremely tired and sleepy because of hypersomnia which came about this last year

I tried many things and tried to stay away from drugs or chemicals. I got to the point where I was going to bed about 5 times a day even if I couldn't sleep I was miserably tired all the time. Hypersomnia is a horrible.

My Endo put me on Ritalin and I didn't want it.

Eventually I had to go back to taking it. I even found that it worked better when I upped my dosage and found most folks with Narcolepsy or hypersomnia take loads more per day than I was. One lady I met is taking was over 60mg per day compared to my 10 or 20mg for the same problem.


I started H2o2 recently with 3 drops in a glass of water 3 times a day. An go up a drop per glass every day.
I'm up to 21 drops or 7 drops in 3 glass of H2o.
I thought I wasn't really feeling different at first and yesterday I noticed I have only took one dose of Ritalin early in the mornings and none after lunch which usually I will have to nap or I just sit down and fall asleep in the evening without the Ritalin.

It's been days now with just Ritalin to wake up and much more energy in the eve with my 3 glass of H2O-H2O2 mixture. I laid down at work this afternoon and never got sleepy. Usually I'm dozing fast even if it's for a few minutes. No naps this week. My muscles are still tired but I'm not sleepy and that's a big deal.


I'm thinking about doing a glass of H2O2 first thing and no Ritalin and see if I can stay awake without drugs. This is a major breakthrough if it's works.

I know an older Lady who is up to double the amount of H2O2 and says it's the best thing she ever did for herself.
It has given her lots of energy that she didn't have before. She has bought a large bottle to share with her brothers and sisters who lack energy. Her brother has dementia and she is hopeful it could help that.

I will keep you updated. Starryeyes you really should look into this. Read up on it good. And I can give you a link for the best price on this if interested. Some people get tricky with the shipping prices because of Hazmat.


This is somewhat caustic until diluted so one must be careful with it.


Taste? I use filtered water and it taste just the same so far (must be stirred).. I drink lots of water since diabetes make me thirsty and I can't really have sweetened drinks. I add pure lemon juice with no Vit-C to water sometimes to give it some flavor.
Vit C and antioxidants including coffee can somehow weaken the H2o2's effectiveness some claim.

I will keep you all updated.

Update..
I woke up took a my Thyroid meds, Vit-D and skipped my Ritalin. Instead of Ritalin I took my first glass of 8 drops of H2O2 for the day.

It was slower than the ritalin which gets me going within 30 minutes but after at least hour or more I no longer am sleepy.. No more wanting to return to bed to sleep.

I'm up and ready to go. Waiting to see how the rest of the day goes with only my H2O2 therapy. It's 11:15am here and I've been up since 7am and all is well.

The energy is Not extreme but it is noticeable when I think about how I usually feel without Ritalin.

Wow that's a lot per day.
I take 4000 IU per day

My blood test reveals the levels are normal now..
You got to be careful not to over do that D3.

I read that is can be toxic unlike most Vitamins because D3 isn't really a vitamin and it don't leave your system like real Vitamins.


With all my health problems that arose last year the Vit D3 doesn't appear to help but I continue the doses in hope of feeling normal again.
