Do you have Adrenal Fatigue? Have you even heard of it?

Adrenal Fatigue

In 2018 I was seeing a doctor who wasn't taking my health issues seriously, simply telling me that I'm "depressed" when I wanted to get up and do things (e.g. who's depressed and still wants to get up and do laundry). He finally hospitalized me in November / December for neurological testing. Unfortunately, after a week in the hospital, his results were inconclusive. He admitted that I had:

• A small brain aneurysm: He said that it was so small that it couldn't really harm me and my current PCP understands.
• Tumors on my back: He said they were not bad enough to do anything. Unfortunately, he was wrong in that it is lying in just the right spot to pinch nerves if I'm not careful.
• Small blood vessels leading to my neck: He said that they were small enough to restrict some oxygen flow to my brain - something I notice since I get seriously dizzy when I bend over.

This didn't really address anything, so I continued seeking answers. At this point I sought out a naturopath that eventually led me to my chiropractor (who was almost a full doctor when she changed paths due to personal reasons). It was my chiropractor who diagnosed me with something that few PCPs know about: Adrenal fatigue, a diagnosis that many Western practitioners don't acknowledge.

Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue

Of course, this isn't a comprehensive list. There are other symptoms, which may include:

• Weakness
• Lightheadedness
• Low blood pressure and body temp
• Loss of body hair
• Skin discoloration (hyperpigmentation)
• Upper back/neck pain for no reason
• More likely to develop respiratory illness which linger
• Dry skin
• Reduced sex drive
• Mild depression

I believe if you have most of these symptoms, you probably have Adrenal Fatigue too. But what do you do about it? Stay tuned!
