Okay something you said hit a nail on the head. Adrenals. I have had blood tests done that say I have very low adrenals. Could this be an adrenal issue heightened by firbromyalia? My Therapist recommended a Nutritional Medicine consultant but as far as exercise, I used to run 10 miles a day and now making my bed sends me into an overwhelming fatigue. How would one get on an exercise regime with feelings of immobility? There's got to be a way. Here are my stress factors.
1). I lost my husband in a car wreck. He died while we had a 6 month old and an 18 month old. It has been 8 years and I have raised them all by myself. I had to leave my home and move in with my parents at the time.
2). I immediately found myself in a Wrongful death suit. He was hit by a 16 year old head on while the kid was fumbling for his cell phone.
3). 6 months later my dearest sister was diagnosed with breast cancer, she died 6 months later (One year and one week after my husband)
4). A year later my youngest child begins showing signs of something wrong and is diagnosed with sensory dysfunction and complex partial seizures.
5). My father has a massive heart attack. He dies but is brought back to life. We still have him to enjoy. I now have both parents living with me.
6). A couple years later my mother has a heart attack and has triple bypass surgery
7). My youngest has a reaction to her seizure medication and decides to try and kill herself, at 8, I had to take her to the emergency room and they keep her for over a week. I wasn't allowed to see her but for only 2 hours a day. She begged me to take her home and I couldn't or the doctors said they would commit her over my wishes.
That's when I started having these awful sensations and was told my adrenals are shot.
To me the above is what life has dealt me. I do not feel sorry for myself and I have tried to make the best out of what I have. As bad as things are they can always get worse and I choose to thank God for what I do have, not what I do not have. With this mentality I feel I should not be overcome by stress. But my body is rebelling and not listening to my mind. I have an appt with the nutritional consultant. And I will try to educate myself more on adrenal function and fibromyalgia. I have got to me missing a puzzle piece somewhere. Thank you for your input, it has helped.
