I have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. Anyone else battled this? What protocol did you use for recovery and how did it turn out?
Thanks
Thanks
I had to deal with this last year and again early this year (alongside recurrent bouts of Chronic Fatigue). I just took time off training (or rather, my body forced ~3 months off each time), stopped stimulant use for about a month, and when I started training again, just used the basic staples for a bit. That's just me, though, and I don't do things like most people. You really want to make sure that you deal with the issue - DHEA is actually a something that will help in your recovery, as well as Adaptogens like Rhodiola Rosea, etc. If you take a look around, no doubt there are threads on this topic.I have been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue.

Damn you have CFS, my wife has had CFS for years and really can't function completely normally and we have tried a lot of things but it always comes back.I had to deal with this last year and again early this year (alongside recurrent bouts of Chronic Fatigue).

Yes, I've had it since 2008 - once you get it, you kind of never ever really get rid of it, and life becomes all about walking a fine line, because if you overdo it, you get it again, and that's another few months out. It's no fun, believe me.Damn you have CFS, my wife has had CFS for years and really can't function completely normally and we have tried a lot of things but it always comes back.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, my wife has trouble sleeping and bouts of extreme fatigue when she doesn't rest enough. It's much like having flu symptoms cuz the white count goes way up. She needs to sleep around 12 hours a day.Can some one go into detail about cfs is?
Agreed. Worked like a charm for me when I was a stim junkie! Great product.I remember some posts awhile back about people running Reset AD for this type of problem.
Excellent postI would be curious to know how you were diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. As far as I am aware it isn't a condition which is recognised by doctors unless you have complete adrenal insufficiency i.e. Addisons disease.
Functional medical doctors tend to look at it like a spectrum, you can have decreased output but still have output. I have seen many medical doctors argue about the diagnosis of 'adrenal fatigue'.
It could depend on steps taken, for example a functional medical practitioner may 'diagnose' you with probable adrenal fatigue from a questionnaire without looking at hormone levels.
If you have had a hormonal test like a salivary Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) test you will have figures for cortisol output. If this is the case then post your numbers up and you should get more specific advice. I know that "The Matrix" comes on here and offers very helpful advice without addressing things in an isolated manner.
The reason numbers and diagnosis method is important is because you could have an inverse cortisol pattern i.e., low in the morning and high in the evening, low cortisol output throughout the day or be completely flatlined. One of which is much more severe and methods used to treat it will be different.
I have tested my ASI before and have worked to restore adrenals after feeling like I had some milder form of adrenal fatigue and have had varying success, hence the reason for more detail being needed.
I hope this is helpful.
