Hi
As a man, in my early 30's I used to get flushing in the face which an alternative GP diagnosed as low adrenal and prescribed cortisol which worked and I felt stronger too!.
These days I still get fatigue (cannot get cortisol anymore and wanto find a deeper solution). Fluyshing hardly at all.
I take fish oil which seem to help fatigue a lot.
For some reason I also have high blood pressure even though my salt intake is only 2g per day and I am not overweight. Current GP said kidney function is low.
So I tried magnesiium but this makes me very tired, which I read can indicate adrenal fatigue.
I have heard poor adrenals can explain multiple food and supplemental sensitivities?
I have slightly low thyroid, but when I take even small amounts of thyroxin, my blood pressure goes up a lot for some reason though it does help with fatigue from high humidity.
I've heard Rehmannia 6 formula is good for low adrenal functions to do with Kidney Yin deficiency ( I also have dry skin and some kind of exzema). Any thoughts for Kidney Yang deficiency and Spleen deficiency, which another article suggested can be involved from the TCM perspective in adrenal exhaustion?
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks for any help.
Regards
Raph
