Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 good morning everyone. Could some of you please describe what it feels like when your adrenals crash? I am trying to figure out if I have some kind of bug, or if my adrenals are crashing. It is mostly my legs and head. MY legs feel like they have 50 lb weights on them. They hurt-my muscles are really sore at my thighs. THey ache the whole time I am resting. They were sore first thing this am. And my head hurts. I went out yesterday and weed wacked stinging nettles at the river( for about half an hour) so that I could ride my horse and I got pooped really fast and then felt sick. And then I kept on feeling worse and worse. Right now I am on 4 grains of armour. I upped from 3 1/2 last week. I have never had problems raising my dose before. I take adrenal cortex and licorice root. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on adrenal crashes. conny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 The best way to tell what is going on is to do a temp graph per www.drrind.com if you can do this for 3-4 days even it will tell you which it is. As you just raised your thyroid, it is indicative of adrenal problems. -- Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations The BEST thyroid website! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi Val, thanks for responding. I have been doing a temperature graph. How high or low must the fluctuations be in temperatures for adrenal problems. Mine vary from 97.8 to 98.5 during the day. I do the average at the end of the day and the averages are usually a point or too different every day. ( 98.2 or 98.3) I do basals too and those stay at the same or a point different.( Usully 97.6 or 97.8) I didn't know if we were looking for a whole degree of difference or just the increments of .1, .2. etc - I don't know what to call them I guess. Hope this isn't too confusing; I can't think of the right words this morning. Does one get diarrhea with adrenal crashes? just wondering <g> I also monitor my bp and my heartrate. my heartrate has been higher this past week but even before I did my raise. conny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 This sounds like your adrenals are doing quite well! GOOD news! Maybe you needed more of a thyroid increase than you did. Or maybe it is a bug or did you possibly overdo? At any rate I would continue the temp graph. See if it changes to more then .2 or .3 degrees. Over .3 I would say it is adrenal. -- Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations The BEST thyroid website! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Conny, From personal experience it sounds more like your thyroid than your adrenals. When my adrenals crash I end up paralyzed. I can hear what is going on but cannot speak or move. I have ended up in the ER 10 times before with this. No one knew what to do... they thought I had a stroke or OD'd... (I have tattoos. so they assume I am a drug user... I am on too much medication to even consider taking drugs sheesh) Anyway... This is just my two cents... I never would have been able to do what you did physically w/adrenal crashing... but that is just me... Also, if you are feeling bad the hot weather and sun would not help at all... I am very heat/cold sensitive... you may be too... Be well, PamelaConny wrote: good morning everyone. Could some of you please describe what it feels like when your adrenals crash?
