Re: My Story Adrenals, Mental, ADD, CFS, alternative treatments?

You obviously suffer a multi-faceted problem with alot of issues that need to be adressed separately because equally important.

First of all it is crucial that you get a screenig blood check to at least ruled out commun ailments (like hypo/hyper thyroidism, anemia etc..) that are relatively easy to treat.

Second, I do understand that you are searching for an alternate solution for ADD and I really do understand why (i took ritalin in the past). But you have to be aware that by consuming "white sugar, coffe and rodiola" you will mess-up your adrenals equally ,if not more. Intervening with your hormone system is even worst: it the short term you might think that you are doing better but in the long term you ca end up worst: so be VERY careful.

Also you need to understand that anxiety/ Depression is tightly connected to ADD: indeed a lot of poeple with ADD of previous generations had a lot of personnal problems because they did not know they had a problem with attention. And often times it lead to anxiety, depression, spousal problems and even substance abuse (wich is the case in your family ): ADD is hereditary; not adressing the problem may lead to even more serious ones. What a relief when some adult realised they had Add when they started treating their kids with the same problem...it changed their life! So adressing this problem might change yours!

So maybe the first step here is to find a good doctor or psychiatrist that can help you treat both Depression and Add and therefore establishing a gold stadard if eventually you want to go on natural treatment.
Also know that it is commun for people who take ritalin to take weekend/summer brakes off medication depending on the severity of the symptoms to give a break to the adrenals.

Since you took large amount of Antibiotics and since you suffer IBS you might suffer with candida albican overgrowth. Taking probiotics,natural antifungal might help you: but right now i doubt that your body is able to handle such a harsh treatment. So you might just want to have colonics which is gentle and might at least, decrease the total load of candida .In the long run, when you are healthy enough, treating candida might help you with malabsorption, allergies and food intelorance and eventually with the fibro-like symptoms.

What you can do in the mean time is to read about diatary ways to adress hypoglycemia. This will give you a steady level of Sugar and energy and decrease stress on the adrenals.It will help you sleep better as well.

To conclude: step one: do something for the severe Depression and then adress ADD, You need help. If such a good student is now failing : it tells you that you are going in the wrong direction. The more you wait the deeper the problems will become.

I know it is expensive to get treated but waiting will cost you even more...go by priority, establish what you can afford right now: make a money arrangement with a health professionnal. DO something.Stop waiting: there's always a solution!

Also don't forget to be patient...healing takes time.
