Momofcha - I was advised by multiple people (nutritionist/chiropractor) to NOT exercise. Very discouraging. I was told that I could do tai chi and gentle yoga.
I have a very strict nutritionist plan. If I veer from it at all I feel it. I haven't been strict with it for a while and it is really making my symptoms return. As I struggle with the food, I just plain miss working out. I am planning to do gentle yoga, tai chi, TTAPP, and classical stretch. My days of cardio and hard working out are probably over. I also work on mindfulness, deep breathing, and occasionally meditation. |

Yes, slightly. However, for me, changing eating habits is not enough. For me, the stars have to align just right and the following has to be well balanced. When these 3 things are balanced, I was able to lose 1-3 pounds a month max (3 lbs on a really good month). It took me about 2 years to lose the 50 lbs. 1) medication 2) food 3) exercise |

I have never gone for a diagnosis for adrenal fatigue, but after feeling pretty much beat-up, something had to change. for me, getting my markers under control (e.g., blood pressure) involved a long-term iterative process of the alignment of: 1) sleep 2) meditation & breath awareness 3) food ...in that order of importance. doc gave me prescription meds before, but it made me too loopy. I got good results from neurofeedback therapy, though.

Sue, I know I've told you some of my experience, but maybe important bits are missing. I am super tired right now, so I won't do this justice, but I was definitely told not to work out at all -- just walks in the sunshine. In that time, I did learn how to focus on things other than my next workout, which was really good for me (not judging anyone who may be there -- just saying I needed a little perspective). I did do some kundalini yoga in that time, and once in a while I'd "cheat" and do a workout here and there, but mostly I made myself sleep more, which I needed. I was working with an integrative doctor. She had me on a bunch of supplements that were working on a variety of things, and she also had me change my nutrition. Over a fairly long period of time, I did get better. I've had a setback recently, so I'm trying to get back to much stricter nutrition, better life balance, etc., without going into all the supplements. I hope that'll help this time around. If you want more details on all of this -- supplements I was on, dietary stuff she had me do, all of that, I can give you more details -- just let me know.
