Re: I need help
Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm almost 100% sure that it's adrenal fatigue, as I've done a battery of testing with several doctors already. I have been working with Dr. Lam for the last month or so, and he say's we need to stabalize the adrenals for right now, as I've gone through another crash. I have spent the last three years dedicated to healing this, and it has brought me to three different parts of the country working with different naturopaths, healers, chiropractors, etc., and I have done so much emotional, spiritual, and psychological work as well....and a few months ago, I was hiking everyday and lifting weights etc., and now it's crashed again and is worst than it's ever felt.
A quick background, before this happened I was seemingly healthy, exercising a lot, running my own business, working really hard non stop, and going through lots of psychological stress. I took on way too much at a young age, and I didn't really have the support around me to help me be more grounded. Also, I was a 100% raw vegan foodist leading up to the crash, which being a type O blood type probably wasn't the best idea. I had a diet with lots of
Sugar from fruits, and lots of stimulating superfoods such as raw chocolate and Royal Jelly. Also, I was taking products that had Guarana in them. So I was definetely overstimulated due to what I was putting in my body, but there was no sense of peace in my personal life either and I had way too much pressure on me in every way possible....so one day I ended up in the Emergency Room for what I thought was a heart attack, but it was only a severe panic attack. Since that night in the emergency room, I've had difficulty catching my breath and nothing has been the same ever since and it's been three years now and I still can't breathe properly. Fortunately, Dr. Lam is the only doctor I've found who could connect the breathing to the adrenals, no one else could understand it. Has anyone else had difficulty with their breathing?
I have learned so much about my life and what got me here, and I've changed so many of my old habits, I'm a brand new person, but I'm still sick. The brain fog is rediculous, I can barely tell what is reality anymore. Everything I've ever enjoyed in life has gone, there's no joy at all anymore, I try so hard, but I usually just end up crying and spending most of my days managing these symptoms and praying for help. I'm not a complainer, but this has gotten way too far out of what I can handle, it would be one thing if this lasted for a week, but to be in this nightmare for so long has just been beyond sad and scary, to me it feels like a living hell, and no one seems to really fully believe me, and so I've been pretty much on my own. I'm glad I found you guys here.
