Living With Adrenal Fatigue

I had a question the other day about adrenal fatigue.

The medical term for adrenal fatigue is Addison’s disease.

Addison’s disease is a disorder occurring when your body doesn’t produce enough of certain hormones made by your adrenal glands.

In Addison’s disease, your adrenal glands produce too little cortisol and often not enough aldosterone as well.

These glands are located just above your kidneys.

As part of your endocrine system, they produce hormones that give instructions to virtually every organ and tissue in your body.

Addison’s disease occurs in all age groups and affects both sexes.

It can be life-threatening.

Addison’s disease symptoms usually develop slowly, often over several months, and may include:

>Muscle weakness and fatigue

>Weight loss and decreased appetite

>Darkening of your skin

>Low blood pressure, even fainting

>Salt craving

>Low blood sugar

>Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting

>Muscle or joint pains

>Irritability

>Depression

>Body hair loss or sexual dysfunction in women

Sometimes, however, the signs and symptoms of Addison’s disease may appear suddenly.

In acute adrenal failure, the signs and symptoms may also include:

>Pain in your lower back, abdomen or legs

>Severe vomiting and diarrhea, leading to dehydration

>Low blood pressure

>Loss of consciousness

>High potassium

All treatment for Addison’s disease involves hormone replacement therapy to correct the levels of steroid hormones your body isn’t producing.

An ample amount of sodium is recommended, especially during heavy exercise, when the weather is hot, or if you have gastrointestinal upsets, like diarrhea.

To deal with adrenal fatigue it’s beneficial to:

*Drink 6-8 cups of purified water daily.

*Increase your exercise, relaxation techniques, etc.

*Increase essential fats (flax oil, olive oil, Omega-3 oils).

*Increase fresh, raw fruits and veggies; consider fresh juicing.

*Consider a liver and/or colon cleanse.

*Consider herbs, acupuncture, energy medicine techniques, hydrotherapy, etc.

*Address any emotional issues.

*Have a chiropractic assessment.

*Eliminate toxic exposures, both food and environment.

*Eliminate any and all hydrogenated, trans fats, deep-fried foods, margarine, fast foods, etc.

*Eliminate sugar, sweets, white flour products, processed foods.

*Avoid dairy products.

*Avoid tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, soda pop.

*Maintain a healthy weight.

*Understand your medications and possible side effects.

*If you follow a vegetarian lifestyle or low caloric intake, it is essential to ensure proper intake of protein, B vitamins and essential fats.

*Add Performance for essential electrolytes.

*Review my post on estrogen dominance.

*Review my post on candida.

*Check hormone levels.
