Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and desperately in need of help. My head is spinning, both literally and figuratively, re: the topic of adrenal fatigue. I have been on T3 for years, then NDT for the past 15 months but am still dysfunctional. (Just flopped on sofa, barely able to move and have barely worked for the past 9 months.)
People seem to cite Danny Roddy's blog post 'Have Adrenal Fatigue? No You Don't' a great deal but the links don't lead to it and there's nothing on Google. (Does this mean he's changed his mind?!)
I know it's easy for people to say it doesn't exist, but when you can't function, it's not very helpful! I'm pretty exhausted from spending the past week reading all your great posts and trying to figure out how to follow a Peat-like protocol. Would REALLY appreciate some clear explanation as to what to DO. I saw that Peat said to sort your adrenals out first, but how? My cortisol starts at 6 (the so-called peak) instead of 20+ and then declines from there. Utter disaster, but an improvement on constant spikes during the night, which was my reality for many years.
I have lots of pieces of jigsaw in my hands but my brain-foggy head is reeling, trying to figure out what to do. Every doctor I've encountered, whether allopathic or naturopathic, has been underwhelming in their understanding of what is going on.
FYI, it's not an option to come of the thyroid meds: when I have tried, it's been a road crash.
Thanks in advance for anything you care to share.
Yours desperately,
K
