Adrenal fatigue ?

Hey, I wanted to have some opinions and tipps on what I am sharing.

Like I told on previous posts, since end of April, I was stopped, definitely, to the point of not being able to walk anymore. So many things had happened, that it was difficult to discern. I had lived so much and was so used to push, that I firstly thought that it was maybe an overtraining, since I had never been able to come back to my level of sport.

It turned out, that I was quite strong and that looking sincerely on what I had lived (important traumatism and lots of stress to keep going on since a long time) burnout was more obvious. I couldn’t do anything anymore, i barely could eat sleep, sometimes even taking a shower was to report for the next day.

I had different symptoms, extreme fatigue, big hunger (a lot and more often), tachycardia etc

September I saw a cardiologist that told me the heart was fine and since getting a little better, that I could walk, even that I had to go back to it. I was so so happy, to me not being able to move was the saddest thing ever, also seeing the body going so low and changing physically when you actually was a sportive person, active, eating fruits and vegetables and still eating the same way, just so much while body asking for it and yeah…

So since September I began to walk a little bit, but definitely it takes time. I would say that 3km per day is the average. It depends a lot on my women cycle too. I have the impression that ovulation day and week around it is the moment where I usually feel the most exhausted like terrible.

But yeah, that is a lot of things, all of this to say that, it was getting better, espacially October I would say. But November felt though! Also due to stress, financial problems and emotionally with all of this and more unbalance came again.

I had a shiatsu session where, while I had had my breakfast, I had a sudden low sugar and had to eat refined sugar till going home. And from this point, I had to eat every so frequently. I have a friend that I met not long ago, that also eat 8/1/1, that had experienced adrenal fatigue some years ago, before knowing about 811 that had cured with a grazing method, that meant eating every 1,5 to 2 hours, having in each meal glucose, sodium and potassium, more concretely fruit alongside with lettuce or celery / or potato with salad and lemon juice. This with I think some supplements.

She had told me about this, while I had told her about my symptoms. And lots of things I had already been doing kind of forced by my body, better said intuitively. I wasn’t eating that often but more often, I was having more greens during the day. She also told me about dates, I don’t know why I had been attracted to dates.

But yeah first time she had told me, I was farting better so I was juste listening to my hunger and answering to it and it wasn’t that often and the episodes of having to wake up at night to eat were less and less happening.

But since 2-3 weeks, it came back so strong after this shiatsu session low sugar. It wasn’t even a choice of grazing or not, I was this or falling. So I try to discipline myself to do it, even if I was scared for the digestive system and the teeth etc, like eating so often.

It is exhausting, definitely. Now I have to wake up during night too, multiple times.

This week I feel less exhausted than last one (ovulation) but yeah, I feel that I will have to see on more mid term.

So yeah, I don’t know what to think and do anymore. It comes to me as last thing to do, also since body asking for it. But yeah I was wondering if it already happened to someone here? Also I never heard talking about it in 811, I remember it about salt and Adrenals but yeah I know that 811 is not for grazing so yeah…

There was a moment where I was like ok should I go back to the doctor to if there are certain things missing, like drops again or other things that hadn’t been checked. I saw more things also talking about stress and vitamins and minerals dropping etc so yeah… but I wouldn’t even be able to come to do a blood test fasted, I have to eat so often.

Now I come to a point where if this appetite doesn’t get lower those next days, next week I won’t find other solution to include some potatoes. Is it the “best” cooked food option? Here in Switzerland it is so cheap.

I don’t want it, it hurts me to have to do this changes since already feeling so bad. Also having a past of digestive problems, I feel worried about it. But yeah, I can’t eat less. Also, even though I accepted the weight gain with all of this unbalance (I even have acne on my back, thing I never had in my life), I feel a little concerned about gaining even more with cooked food.

So yeah I definitely don’t know what to do anymore, besides keep trying with this grazing method and respecting the rest and time I need, but yeah. What do you think? Do you have some experiences sharings? Recommendations?

Thanks for reading ❤️
