Wow! I'm amazed at the responses from each of you. I'll do my best to answer some of the questions posed. My Dr. contributes my adrenal fatigue to high levels of stress over extended periods of time - too much going on for too long (most women can identify!). I did two saliva tests - the first to confirm the diagnosis and the second about 6 months later to see where I am now. Sorry to say, no change yet. She says to be patient, it can take up to 18 months. In the meantime, she has prescribed restorative yoga and getting lots of rest in addition to supplements and a small dose of DHEA combined with testostorne. I am walking almost daily and do some yoga, but not as much as I probably should be doing.
I was working with a trainer 2x a week, but just stopped for two reasons: the trainer didn't understand enough about my condition to help, and the only time I could go was early morning which meant I had to get up even earlier. Also, my thoughts are that with the layer of fat around my belly, I'm better off walking.
I am in memopause, so some of this might be contributed to that - but with my eating habits (not perfect, but reasonable) and the exercise I do get,I am still gaining too much too fast.
I just ordered two books that may provide me some additional info.
Thanks again ladies!
