Long time reader and great admirer of this website.
I'm a very upbeat, happy and outgoing person who is very involved in the community and world. At the end of November last year something happened and I have been in a battle ever since.
I felt very un-easy and knew something was wrong and even had a friend watch me while I slept that night because I was so worried. Well that week, I was exhausted, slept 12-14 hours a day for a week.
Not until someone at work gave me adrenal support drops did I break out of that fog and actually broke down and cried with him after I snapped out of it thanking him.
Well, I have never really gotten my "juice" or "pep" back since then.
I have looked into everything and changed my diet and lifestyle complety in order to try and recover.
I got blood work done by the doctor and everything came back at "normal" levels.
Got my thyroid tested and T4 came back a little low, everything else ok.
My chortisol and hormone test should be back tomorrow, paid out of pocket for the salivia test.
I do go to a chiropractor and he has told me I need to relax etc.
I've looked into Candida, Adrenal Fatigue and most Recent Parasites.
I gave up alcohol, coffee, and have been eating a very strict diet of probiotic food and lots of vegetables, salmon, fruit and PH blancing foods.
I have gotten on Probiotics, one of the best out there as well.
Here are some of the symptoms I've been dealing with for the last 3 months.
- No Labido, Just lack the "Desire"
- Left Eye Twitch (Goes away for a week or two then comes back)
- Every few weeks, I feel signs of that initial crash and can sleep for 12 hours and still wake up feeling tired.
- I have good weeks, but when symptoms appear again they get the best of me and cause some anxious feeling
- Poor Digestion, well, I'm regular now but Green Stool for months.
- Chest Tightness that was there at start and came back a week ago when system crashed again.
Here are some of the treatments and supplements I've taken. Keep in mind, I don't know what's wrong so I've gone about this first thinking, leaky gut, then adrenal fatigue, but I've learned so much about how it all works together with the liver etc now. (Which I am very grateful for)
- Calm Now (Magnesium) which has helped relex and sleep at night. Magnesium deficiency I learned lots about as well.
- L-Glutamine (To help my intestines rebuild or heal, Read alot bout it and been using it in morning and night)
- Good Earth Probiotics (3 a Day of the Primal Defense) Initially, the probiotics are what I think helped bring me out of the fog 2 weeks after this all started months ago)
- Himalayan
Sea Salt (Also with half a lemon in the morning in water to start the day)
- B12 complex from Garden of Life
- Maca Root
- Ashawaganda
- Milk Thistle (Thought it would help Liver) The Green stool for months has me learning a lot about liver.
- Garden of Life PH Daily Greens Detox Powder
- Omega 3 Supplement
This has been the most trying time of my life. I have learned so much and truly miss being able to be my confident, vibrant self, I see my friends but don't get to do any of the things I was doing and live for.
I know this is happening for a reason and will make me stronger for the future of my life.
I admire so many of you on this website and all you have faced, you are truly brave and cannot thank you enough for all the knowledge you share to help other people.
I'm not sure what I am fighting.
Recenlty I have been looking into doing a
parasite cleanse?
In October I was working in New Orleans (Video Film Work) and In the middle of November I was in L.A working as well. When I came home is when the crash happened and my life hasn't been the same since.
Any ideas, Any suggestions...
Anything would mean the world to me :)
Thank you kindly and much love!
