hello, been there. you need to know this up front, you can't go back-ever. I did it and boy i learned the hard way. you need to give up coffee immediately. it kills the adrenals. it also causes blood Sugar problems. another thing is i also thought i was in perimenopause as i was also experiencing night sweats. they are now gone. i am not having hormonal problems, i was tested. they are caused by your adrenal imbalance and your blood Sugar imbalance. i am hypoglycemic and i know the symptoms well. i am also sensitive to many foods, as you may be. i had a test. you won't get better, only worse, until you become very strict with yourself. following a diet becomes vital. the adrenals are affected by everything we put into our bodies, food and even the chemicals we inhale and use topically. i crashed in may of this year and like you did what i was supposed to. when i felt better i started flrting with sugar. big mistake. no sugar, caffeine, gluten, corn, milk, alcohol, food additives or artificial sweetners can go into my body or i get sick and suffer panic.
