There are a lot of great herbs and supplements that will help. Also, you need calming herbs, a combination of ground up herbs in capsules is best as tinctures don't have the quality to work well. Larger than recommended doses may be necessary. @ Alyssa Sounds like adrenal exhaustion. There are a lot of great herbs and supplements that will help.

Are you taking any calming herbs? Get something that is a combination of ground up herbs in capsules -- tinctures rarely have the quality to work well. There may be an emotional reaction to the surgery that the herbs should help with. Large doses may be necessary. @ Tina It could be adrenal related. Are you taking any calming herbs?

Any sugar at all, even honey, will contribute to exhausting the adrenal glands. @ dudley Derealisation could be from adrenal fatigue, but there are other things that can cause it.

Everyone told me that I had anxiety issues and I should take medication for it. But I knew I didnt want to be on anxiety medication my whole life so I changed my diet drastically, and started taking natural supplements, and even lost 30 lbs. After that I didnt get the panic attacks, but I came to realize that I would get them when I would slack off on my diet. I'm a worrier and I constantly stress about everything, I just had my third child and I've been getting panic attacks again, I've been feeling very exshausted, even though I sleep I dont feel refreshed, I;ve become very irritable, I cant concentrate and I have trouble remembering the simplest things. I'm aware that all of that could be caused by stress.. but I'm constantly craving sugar.. I need to have it. I've also gained weight and feel the need to eat all the time especially at night. My skin has also become very sensitive... a simple scratch and my skin swells up, dizziness. Sometimes I'm super sensitive to cold then other times I get hot flashes. What would you recommend I start doing? I started to get panic attacks after my second child. Everyone told me that I had anxiety issues and I should take medication for it.

I had the saliva test done in October 2011 and it was high at 12pm, 6pm and 11pm, but not in the morning. I had an MRI of my pituitary done and it came back "normal". I had all the above thyroid tests done and they all came back "within normal range". I've had an EKG and Stress Tests on the hear done and it all came back "normal". But I consistantly (over the past 3 months following my total hysterectomy) have had heart palpitations and a higher than normal (for me) pulse in the 80's (I was normally at the low 70's range before the hysterectomy). My doctor, before the surgery told me I have Adrenal Fatigue. She game me some herbs and vitamin/mineral suppliments and I was fine until I had the hysterectomy! Now the palps, chronic nasal congestion, tremors and "lump" feeling in my throat won't seem to leave. These were starting to subside over the past 2 weeks or so but then I used an OTC nasal decongestant yesterday morning and it's all back as of yesterday evening. I've been taking magnesium citrate 400-600mg daily, fish oil=600mg daily, evening primrose oil=1300mg daily, a probiotic=+25 billion and vitamin D3=1000IU twice a week. Can someone PLEASE tell me their thoughts on what is happening to me??? I've seen like 17 different doctors and none of them (except for the Endo at the Cleveland Clinic who is at least talking to me and running the tests beyond the thyroid) can seem to tell me what the REAL CORE ISSUE is that's causing my problems.

I am seeing a Dr peatfield in the UK, he has recommended taking physiological doses of cortisol. I am very reluctant to take this as i got ill 4 years ago from taking cipro antibiotics ( google cipro poisoning ,unbelievable) one of my worst symptoms is derealisation, this came on while taking cipro. This is a feeling that my surroundings seem unreal and detached. Have you heard of this at all? I eat a fully organic diet but just recently have been taking manuka honey for a throat infection. Can yo give me any advice please as this unreality thing is driving me crazy. Dudley I have done a saliva test and twice it has shown low cortisol.

Diet must be perfect, absolutely no processed foods ie.sugar of any kind except stevia, and no ground up grains. Can take just a couple of weeks with all the supplements and herbs I recommend in my book, up to two or three months if very ill and elderly. Other issues can complicate things further too. @Melissa Depends on age and general health.

I am chronically exhausted. I was taking some products by Genestra, (Hypo-gen and HTHY) which deal with assisting the endocrine system and I'm also taking kelp. I started taking treatment for 3 months, then felt much better, and I had lots of energy up until September, when it all began to crash again. (It was also a stressful time) I started treatment once again this month and Ive started reducing sugar and eating better, also started drinking nettle tea as I've read its great for adrenals. How long does it typically take to heal the adrenals? I have been experiencing re-occurring adrenal fatigue and thyroid issues over the year. I am chronically exhausted.
