One step forward, two steps back…
After last night’s adrenal attack, I took it easy today and spent almost all day on the couch. We ate leftovers for breakfast and lunch, and I made the quickest, easiest dinner possible- taco meat on top of corn chips. And I still got sick after dinner with another adrenal attack. I’m discouraged, and I’ll call the doctor tomorrow.
Even though I’m having the adrenal attacks, I still don’t have the pain and heaviness I had been experiencing in my arms and legs, I’m still thinking clearly. The low back pain is back, but it’s clearly adrenal pain around the waist and there isn’t any muscle pain with it, so it’s not as bad as what I had been experiencing. I don’t have the muscle pain and soreness all over. So the shot was a definite help, it just hasn’t dealt with the adrenal issues. It wasn’t meant to directly deal with the adrenal issues, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Tomorrow I will increase my salt intake to 2 tsp and will also make sure I take in at least 8 cups of water. I also need to make some final decisions on what supplements I’m going to stay on and which ones to change or drop. We do know I’m low on B12 as a minimum. I also need to work on making sure I’m taking in enough calories and fat to help keep me from spiraling and dropping weight again. The adrenal attacks are hard on your food intake.
