Re: ? to James
Hi Shawn,
Happy birthday! Basically the way my ND helped was to give me direction. Before I went to him I was shooting in the dark as to what was wrong with me. I stubbornly attempted to go it alone because my ego told me I was smart enough to solve any problem in life.
Once I broke down and admitted that I needed some professional help, I went to the ND and had thorough testing done that sourced the problem as being low adrenal and thyroid function, something I really hadn't considered very seriously. I spent over a year battling what I thought was candida and really made very little progress. After just a few months following my ND's protocol I started to notice many of my symptoms begin to subside such as joint and muscle pain, anxiety, brain fog, emotional instability, dizziness, muscle weakness, insomnia etc.
I must also say that I realize my ND does not have all of the answers and I have learned plenty on my own (mostly from Dr. Lam and Dr. Wilson's book Adrenal Fatigue) that has all helped. I am currently at about 70% normal and I have gone back to work.
My days are still up and down with hypoglycemia and fatigue being my last two hurdles to over come. Funny thing is, despite these health issues I was the top sales person for my division last month! Sometimes I will be selling to clients and I feel like crawling into a hole and dying, but I hide it so well that no one is the wiser! LOL! Keep us up to date and seek out qualified help, it will make a difference.
Good luck,
James
