Mars,
My adrenals are fried due to the fact that I've been unknowingly eating some of my intolerances (or developing new ones) until recently. My stress level is up, my nerves thin.
In case it might be of interest to you, this is what my naturopath just gave me for stress and balancing the adrenals.
Rhodiola
You can read more about it at:
http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/s ... 62,00.html
Rhodiola is used particularly for chronic fatigue and working under stress.
To help restore my normal sleep cycle and support the adrenals, she gave me-
Seriphos (brand name) which is Phosphorlated Serine
I love the stuff. It takes a little while, but it slowly corrects my sleep problems and supports my adrenals. I start to sleep like a baby and have deep dreams. My problem is that I've continued to deplete my adrenals by eating some intolerances (like the casein). So once I stopped the serine, the adrenals get exhausted again. Once I can identify all my triggers, this will take a big load off the adrenals, and I think they will then heal. Or so I hope.
Anyhow, good luck with your sleep. I am glad you are feeling so good these days! Celia

Hi Celia,
Thanks for thinking of me. I am in the process of researching all herbs and information passed on to me from you and others. I am soooo confused at this point!
I see the doc on Wednesday and have a list of questions I want to ask of him. Main problems are the lack of energy during the day and then the inability to sleep a good nights sleep once going to bed. We shall see. I'll report back Wednesday evening.
It's nice to know that you are doing so great on the new suppliments/meds. Hopefully, you will see long-term results! Good luck!
Love,
Mars
