Hi All
So glad I found this forum! I have been having these symptoms for over 15 years, and just recently learned about adrenal fatigue which is excactly what I have...here is a description of my symptoms: very tired in the morning and all through the day,brain fog, cant concentrate, forgetfulness, dizzyness when standing and walking...almost fell a few times...i also have a goiter on my thyroid for more than 10 years, its a few centimeters large. and on the ultrasound the other gland is very very small to completely gone...The FNA tests for the goiter show that it is not cancer.I had severe iron defeciency and had to get IV for Iron. Also deficient in B12 and got a few shots as well.I urinate constantly, cant drink anything cause immediately go to pee! so for all these years I havent drank more than a glass or two of water a day. also have salt cravings. sometimes i wake up at 5 am and cant continue sleeping. i cant sleep more than 6 hours night and very tired all the time. I also am bloated, like a rock in my stomache, constipated most of the time and have gass issues. My TSH levels are below the norm. T4 and T3 are with in the norm (regular blood test
) I have very dry hair and skin, lots of hair loss. recently i switched to a plant based organic diet in attempt to take care of this after beeing dissapointed from doctors after 15 years with these symptoms and they cant find anything or help. i also drink distilled water. I just started learning about adrenal fatigue and would like so advise as to what to supplement with, and which and where to do tests? i read about taking HCL which makes a lot of sense and I think could help with the gas and the issues of my deficiencies since i guess my tract is not absorbing any nutrients...i am not sure about taking adrenal rebuilders could you recommend or not? i also take some Remag (magnesium and iodine with additional minerals.) aslo i switched to hymalaian salt. I would love to hear suggetions as to what to do to take care and heal! Thanks

This is a reply to # 2,182,626I think a plant based organic diet is very good but others on this forum would disagree. Seems like someone like you will need at least some amount of meat in the diet though, at least fish if not other types of meat.
Himalayan salt is very good, I also use Real Salt and this one seems to work very good for me too. If your body is losing salt all the time, you need to replenish your stores with a good quality salt, you can even add some salt to your water. You may want to decrease somewhat the amount of foods high in potassium, although you do need some of these too as they help with hydration but the more potassium in your diet can further deplete sodium levels.
I'm not a fan of taking HCL, would be much better to stimulate your body's own digestion by increasing the amount of sour foods in your diet like pineapple and mango, papaya is also good to help digestion. Warming spices like fresh ginger, black pepper and garlic can help stimulate the digestive juices but you don't want to overdo it as these very 'hot' spices can also dehydrate the body if you overdo it. Some people don't realize that oils are very lubricating and moisturizing for the body. Use plenty of oils in your diet, flax seed oil is good, of course Salmon is a great source of omega 3s, olive oil would also be beneficial for you and sesame oil is warming and very lubricating for the body.
I think you would do well on herbs like ashwagandha and brahmi, they are extremely good at rejuvinating the body, increasing energy and decreasing stress.
Some of my suggestions may seem a bit strange, they are all based on my study of Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine).

This is a reply to # 2,182,636You, obviously, have a lot going on. Many of us, including myself, have found hair tissue mineral analysis to be a good starting point. The minerals in our bodies tell the story of what's going on at a tissue level. Check out, www.drlwilson.com, for more on this. And I would be happy to tell you how it is helping me get well if you are interested.
