Hey everyone - I need some help as I am experiencing a series of symptoms and I'm getting desperate because now I'm experiencing rapid aging around the eye area as well as deep dark circles. These wrinkles that have been setting around my eye show up by the week and they are leading into crows feet and if I don't fix this soon I don't know what I'm going to do.
I'v always had good skin except for bad Acne and this is ruining my looks!
I will give you a bit of a background and hopefully someone can help me.
This all started a year ago when I was in a very stressful relationship and going through a very stressful breakup that lead into some pretty traumatic things. At the same time, my job was a huge stress, I was drinking 6 cups of coffee per day, eating a diet that consisted of fast food most days due to overtime at work. This lead into a series of symptoms that have evolved and keep evolving.
I've been going to the doctor since the beginning with chest pain symptoms, heaviness in legs, IBS symptoms, pelvic pain, etc...and he kept saying its anxiety and stress and that I need to relax. All the test came back negative. long story short, a year later, I'm experiencing more symptoms and here is the list:
-Muscle pain all over body - pins and needles pain around arms, legs and chest
-Hot flashes
-eye floaters
-Insomnia
-Frequent gastrointestinal pain and heartburn
-Weight Loss
-Fatigue 24/7
-Heavy feeling in legs for over a year
-Dark Circle under eyes and rapid aging around eyes
-Bad memory and poor concentration
-Chest Pain - Sometimes pain in center of chest after working out
- Constipation
-Tinnitus
-Anxiety/Depression
-Low libido, ED, and pelvic pain during sexual intercourse
I just switched family doctors, and showed him this list of symptoms, he send me to do a bunch of blood work and guess what ? everything is good according to him so now he just wants me to do a 24 hour urine test and after that he said he will send me to a specialist.
the question is, which specialist would be appropriate for this. an internist ? can they look into HORMONAL IMBALANCE as I am almost certain this is the cause of these symptoms and especially rapid aging? or should I request my doctor to send me to a hormonal replacement specialist ?
my second question is, I went to see a naturopath, and she is certain that this is adrenal fatigue and I am getting treated for it without having done the saliva test. I've been doing lifestyle changes and taking some of her supplements in addition to collagen, hyaluronic acid, silica, L-lysine, Magnesium, 4 grams of Vitamince C and Zinc.
Can adrenal fatigue cause rapid aging around the eye and dark circles. and is this reversible ? I want to go for cosmetic laser but I am afraid my skin isn't healing properly so I will only be able to do that once I'm fixed...
I can still work fine, this is only affecting my looks and confidence. my energy levels are not so bad.
Sorry for this super long post, but I'm desperate and I'm almost certain this is due to hormonal imbalance and I need someone's input at to what I should do...eye creams, drinking water, exfoliators just make the skin worse so there's nothing I'm putting on for anti-aging treatment.
please help.
thanks so much,

This is a reply to # 2,238,144Mine started 8 years ago with a bad break and stress stress ever since then. My thyroid was the first to slow down. To make a long story short I started to go through perimenopause and a doctor gave me hormones that messed me up so bad I thought I was going to die. There was a couple of months there I couldn't get out of bed much. I was down to a size one with many similar symptoms you have now and the list is to long to go through here at once. I am about 90% recovered. You have been going through fight or flight. Yes you need to relax big time but you need more help doing it. One really important thing is your neurotransmitter You need to help replenish the happy amino acids you have lost during all the stress. Look into buying a book called "The Mood Cure." It is also hugely important you have to stop worrying about your health because that has a huge impact you your health. I had to stop getting on the scale, looking in the mirror and cringing when my hair fell out. Every little thing that bothers you is causing your body to release cortisol that it needs to use for energy. That is why you see people get worse or not heal. We are already stressed then it starts effecting our health. Then we start feaking out more about our health and that start using up our bodies resources even more. The naturalpath will help with healing but find someone that also deals with amino acids and nuerotramitters or read the book. I am so sorry your going through this but it too will pass. Hang in there and concentrate on being happy in know it's hard. Let me know if you need more information.

This is a reply to # 2,238,147Hi - Thanks a lot for your response.
You're right. I indeed stress over a lot of things now, even though my new job isn't stressful, my biggest stress at the moment is my health and I stress about it every single day. I will definitely look into the book you've proposed
How would I go about finding someone that deals with aminoacids and neurotransmitters ? I was thinking to get counseling to help with the stress part of my life. but could you elaborate more on the aminoacids and neurotransmitters ?
I think a lot of it has to do with hormones due to my adrenal glands and stress and I'm looking into finding a way to test if I am deficient in some of them and maybe take some supplements.
thanks.- Re: Adrenal Fatigue/Hormonal Imbalan... thelaughingdogs

This is a reply to # 2,238,195Yeah I realized that I had made stress a way of life in when my life was less stressful. Your brain actually gets addicted to it and it changes your neurpathways. There is also brain retraining you can do and that program is called Dynamic Nuero Retraining System or DNRS.
Some clinics also have anxiety programs to teach you how to get out of the stress. Laughter yoga is another thing I do that has beed so helpful.
As far as amino acids the book "The Mood Cure" has a written test you can do as a guide to what supplements and when and how long. It does mostly just cover amino acids. I also did a urine test for neurotransmitters through my doctors suggestions. The company I did that with is called Nuerogistics. They may also be able to suggest a doctor in your area. Also Google it to see if any doctors or clinics in your area do neurotransmitter testing.
I go to a nutrionalist to heal my organs. I specifically picked someone who works with Standard Process products. I been working on my gallbladder, liver, kidneys and digestion. I am having great results.

This is a reply to # 2,238,644Thanks for all this information.
I've already pruchased the mood cure from amazon - figure that there's no point trying to heal by changing all the lifestyle bad habbit if I'm still stressed unconscionably. Tried to stop looking at the mirror every day haha.
Unfortunately I've spent a lot of money on supplements and starting to go to a naturopath, hopefully my family doctor can recommend me some of these tests so I can go through free healthcare or insurance.
And good to hear your body is healing! that give me hope. I'm only 28 so I should have tons of time to heal.
Thanks again

This is a reply to # 2,238,196I did alot of brain retraining. I finally got to a point where I just accepted I was going to be skinny for awhile so I went out and bought as size one jeans. A month and a half later I had gained back 10lbs and could not fit into the size one jeans anymore. Alot of stress subsided and my body was healing. I had let go of caring about all the weird symptoms. I actually would joke about a symptom when it showed up instead of having meltdown Some things in a week others started going away little by little until they finally disappeared. Getting my thyroid going was also a big factor in healing. That was a big factor in the hair loss.
Part of my wrinkles did go away. I know thyroid and adrenals control hydration. All of the wrinkles did not go way because I am 49 and it's probably about time I got some wrinkles. :) After brain/gut healing they just don't bother me as much. You just loose the obsessiveness the inflammation in your gut and brain caused. - Re: Adrenal Fatigue/Hormonal Imbalan... Hidden Username

This is a reply to # 2,238,196Potassium the youth and beauty mineral and is abundant in bananas and other fruits. Fruit is beautifying, eat low fat and you can eat all the fruit you want. After a few days, sugar issues disappeared for me.
This may sound unbelievable, but I had started to get a vertical line between my eyebrows (I'm 44 y.o. female) and then as I liver flushed, colon cleansed and did coffee enemas it is now totally gone. This took about 6 months.
BUT, I eat tons of fresh ripe fruit daily with fresh juices and coconut water. I sleep like a baby with all these good carbs. My diet is full of raw fruit, it is filling, nourishing and most of all, it is calming to the nerves and makes me happy in the brain:)
I follow a raw till 4/80 10 10 diet, check it out, it beautifies people.

This is a reply to # 2,238,749Respectfully, I do not deny your experience because people react differently to diets. However, I must say that I severely damaged my health on a high fruit diet. My adrenal fatigue became drastically worse. I was doing a "ray peat" type of diet high in fruit. I would give anything to go back in time. I followed a high fruit diet in an attempt to recover from the damage that a ketogenic diet had previously done to me. I cannot eat any fruit right now, excluding berries which are not high in potassium. I am 26 by the way. The diets that I followed, this desire to be healthy has taken years of my youth that I will never get back.

Hello!
I would never consider a diet like Peat's to be healthful in any way, I'm sorry your health was badly impacted by following it.
Check out 80/10/10 or Raw till 4 to see more of what I am following and have done for years. It saved my life from CFS 5 years ago.
I am now dealing with mercury from badly removed amalgams and on my way back to health again....cheers!

This is a reply to # 2,238,761Yes you really do have to be cautious when trying a new diet. Everyone has certain things they react to. When your have digestive issues lots of raw food is actually not that good for you because it is harder for the body to digest thn cooked foods. Alot of naturalpaths will prefer you eat cooked foods because it takes less energy and work for your body to digest when your really sick. At one point I would also blend my food up to make it easier to digest.

6 or 7 well spotted organic ripe bananas blended with fresh young thai coconut water, the best smoothy, take about 45 minutes to "chew" and swallow, I love it!
I sometimes add a drop or two of peppermint oil, very refreshing:)
Some have even gone on "banana island" for month and healed up their digestion. Bananas are a great prebiotic food, must be ripe and organic always best.

This is a reply to # 2,238,749This you have adrenal fatigue as well ?
Thanks for the tips - I've been eating mostly chicken and salmon for protein, along with some fruits and a lot of veggies. This is what my naturopath instructed me to do.
I used to drink so much coffee and now I drink one cup of tea per day and 12 glasses of water a day; however, I can't retain water and I'm alway dehydrated - must be the aldosterone imbalance and this must be contributing to the wrinkles.
I heard coffee enemas can be hard on the adrenal glands when healing. was it ok for you ?- Re: Adrenal Fatigue/Hormonal Imbalan... Hidden Username

This is a reply to # 2,238,981My naturopath was fat and had such horrible back pain, he could hardly get out of his chair. He was out of shape and dependant on coffee/tea for energy.
When he found out about my high raw diet, he tried to get me to eat grass fed beef instead. I decided to stick with the people who were getting the results that I wanted.
At the time, I had cured myself of CFS/Adrenal Fatigue, and Fibro, and I was a fit size 4 who could run circles around him, and I had become a fitness instructor in one of the toughest mental and physical disciplines:)
Carbs give you energy, if you cut out the fats. I need at least 2000-2500 calories a day. Under 2100 is considered famine in some world agencies. Performance athletes would never consider cutting out the carbs, I want the energy and vitality of an athlete.
When I had what is called Adrenal Fatigue, I was eating too many fats, so couldn't even dream of eating a fruit, had hypoglycemia and would crash instantly. Removing fats corrected that so I could eat the vitamin rich fruits and heal.
You might try a pinch of Sea Salt in your water to help with the dehydration, and this problem is often caused by dysbiosis.
I wish you luck!

I am sorry to hear that you are going through those issues. I have been going through some issues with PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger issues, chronic pain etc..(Typical military problems)
My family physician would prescribe medication, for the issues, but it seemed that they were not strong enough or too strong, there was never that perfect level for me. The side effects were out of control!! I was too sleepy, constipated, walking in a "fog", to name a few.
I started looking into alternatives and found some non-toxic medication that has helped tremendously and nearly eliminated all my side effects, so I had my family doctor prescribe them to me.
I have been in Army Recruiting for 6 years, because I love helping people. In the sales field, you really have to love and believe the "product" you are selling, and that is why I have been a successful Army Recruiter.
Because of my positive experiences of the current medication I take for my military issues, I now work for the company that treats my injuries.
Due to Forum Rules , I am unable to let you know what medications I take to alleviate my symptoms.
If you are interested and want to talk about possible help for you, please check out my LinkedIn site or send me a message...thanks. I hope to hear from you, as it has helped me!

This is a reply to # 2,238,144Hi.
I would suggest to read Dr. Lam articles on Adrenal Fatigue (was described by Hans Selye first time). It's a good starting point. You also may need to find a good naturopath. My attempts to self-navigate at this point have failed.
I had most of the symptoms you have. Brain fog was very annoying. I had it to a point where I could not see text close to me (just like old people farsightedness.)
Regular family doctors don't know much even regular endo would not be able to tell you much. I need to do some tests to see where things go. I see family doc who was explaining me that my numbers are very good. I asked her if it should be the other way around: she would listen to my symptoms and then check the numbers. She did not know what to say.

This is a reply to # 2,238,471Klauss,
I've recently gone to a naturopath - she seems very good and I'm following her protocol by making lifestyle changes and taking her minerals.
I've been reading dr. lam's articles as well so that should help me hopefully.
I totally get you. My family doctor acknowledges adrenal fatigue but he said my cortisol levels are good. except he only used a conventional cortisol blood test. He said he'll send me to a specialist after a couple more tests.
This seems like something we have to figure out on our own by spending hours doing research lol
Thanks!

This is a reply to # 2,238,144flush your liver . You need to first start with colon cleansing and then a series of liver flushes.
You have many intraheptic stones in your liver blocking bile flow and liver energy from all that toxic garbage and emotional trauma.

I suspect I need to do a liver flush, however, I've read that detoxing while having adrenal fatigue can make the situation even worse. Is there a way to do it in a mild way?
I've started taking some Colon Cleanse pills however they don't seem to do much

This is a reply to # 2,238,144Have you ever done a liver flush?
Every symptom you have clearly indicates to me that your liver is congested, bile output has been reduced and is back washing into the blood stream,
I had all of the exact same symptoms and reversed them all by flushing the congestion from my liver,

That would make sense - I'm just worried by attempting a liver detox, It will cause more harm to my adrenal glands. Did you do a colon detox prior to flushing your liver, and which Liver Flush protocol did you use ?
That's good to hear - hopefully I'll be able to handle it. I'll read on it!

This is a reply to # 2,238,986I highly, highly recommend buying a copy of Andreas Moritz 's books 'The Amazing Liver & Gallbladder Flush'.
He explains in detail how liver congestion causes adrenal fatigue, and all the other symptoms you are experiencing.
On one side, you don't want to aggravate the problem by doing a flush, but on the other, you want to eliminate the root cause so the problem goes away,
That's a decision you will have to make on your own, but an educated choice only will come from having a full understanding by reading the liver and gallbladder flush book.
I find that so many doctors and even naturopaths just treat the symptoms of adrenal fatigue. When the bile ducts are blocked, hormones that are suppose to exit these ducts aren't able to and just keep recirculating and accumulating in the bloodstream, causing a huge host of issues, including adrenal issues. Because estrogen is responsible for regulating sodium and water retention, as that accumulates in the blood, swelling of the glands takes place as well.

This is a reply to # 2,238,144There is no adrenal fatigue as it is promoted all over the web. It is Autonomic Nervous System dysfunction.
All your symptoms may be related to systemic fungal infection. Eye floaters are possibly the pieces of fungus - http://www.psoriasisdietplan.com/2015/01/eye-floaters-are-probably-fungal-infection/
ED, poor concentration are heavily related to acetylcholine production problems. Actually all that adrenal fatigue is Autonomic Nervous System dysfunction and nervous system works mostly on acetylcholine.
Mycotoxins also depletes vitamins and amino acids and block enzymes that produce acetylcholine amongst many other things - http://www.psoriasisdietplan.com/2014/10/mycotoxins-deplete-vitamins-and-amino-acids/
Here is even the patent for raising the acetylcholine levels as treatment of many chronic diseases! http://www.psoriasisdietplan.com/2014/08/patent-application-published-in-2006-describes-effective-treatment-for-many-chronic-diseases/
Even World Health Organisation knows the dangerous effects of mycotoxins - http://www.who.int/bulletin/archives/77%289%29754.pdf
How to eliminate fungus? SCD diet/ NO POLYSACCHARIDES if possible. If not rice and potatoes as only starches - no wheat and other grains.
But take some fiber - oat bran fiber, flax seed, etc.. in order to scrape the mucus of the intestinal wall on a daily basis.
Oregano oil internally, neem, vitamin D3, omega 3, B-complex, etc...
And artichoke or ox bile in order to support the bile flow. - Re: Adrenal Fatigue/Hormonal Imbalan... On2hil

This is a reply to # 2,238,144> Can adrenal fatigue cause rapid aging around the eye and dark circles
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: the symptoms mentioned in your post point to heavy metal poisoning (mercury, possibly also lead and/or arsenic). Medical doctors, generally speaking, have no clue what it is or how to cure it. Trying to follow directions of someone who has no idea how to treat it SAFELY will cause redistribution of toxic metals, leading to horrific symptoms. "Horrific" is an understatement. For some people, "treatments" at the hands of clueless med. practitioners culminated in death (page 208, Amalgam Illness, Andrew Hall Cutler, PhD, PE).
You are not a guinea pig for some experiments by a licensed practitioner with no freezing idea what they are doing with their license to kill.
> and is this reversible ?
It depends. If the cause of adrenal fatigue is indeed heavy metal poisoning, then no, it cannot be fixed UNLESS you remove the cause: the toxic metals, and do it safely.
> hormonal imbalance
Mercury poisons the brain and the liver very badly. The brain includes things like your pituitary, a gland that stimulates your adrenals, regulates growth hormone. Another part of the brain, the Hypothalamus, also secretes hormones that control the release of other hormones in the body (such as GHRH for GH). When your brain is poisoned, your hormonal system won't work the way it should.
This may NOT even appear on standard hormonal tests. This is particularly true for cortisol (see page 118 in the book, the section about improper ACTH response to stress in mercury toxic individuals) as well as the thyroid hormones. Cortisol tests are largely inaccurate by design; the "normal" range is too wide, the demands vary from person to person, and so mindless testing for cortisol leaves you with meaningless results.
Adrenal fatigue is a very reasonable diagnosis, but it is only a symptom of something else gone terribly wrong, such as heavy metals messing with your brain (brain fog!!!).
Mercury may not show up in blood or urine tests once has been sucked up by the brain it stays there. The brain won't let go of it for at least fifty years. The half-life of mercury in the brain is 25 years!
Some doctors seem to think that they have fifty years of your life for their experiments, plenty of time to poke holes in you with needles, to sample whatever tissue they fancy, to milk your insurance and see if it kills you.
If I were you, I would look for reliable information about mercury toxicity from people who know what they are talking about, such as Dr. Andrew H. Cutler, one of the very few individuals who understand what this is about.
