The adrenal glands are part of the endocrine system that sits on top of the kidneys and is mainly responsible for releasing hormones in response to stress through making cortisol and adrenaline. Adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands are experiencing intense prolonged stress, IE for chronic diseases.
If left untreated, adrenal insufficiency can lead to severe abdominal pain, vomiting, muscle profound weakness and fatigue, depression, very low blood pressure, weight loss, kidney failure, changes in mood and personality, and shock. Adrenal crisis often occurs when the body is stressed, such as an accident, injury, surgery, chronic illness or severe infection.
In my case, my adrenal insufficiency was also taken by me and not damaged pituitary gland produces hormones that right. In theory, because my symptoms of early healing, pituitary I took a lot of ammonia from Lyme.
Adrenal insufficiency can also occur, as in my case, when the hypothalamus or pituitary gland does not make sufficient amounts of hormones that help in regulating adrenal function. This is called secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused by insufficient production of ACTH in the pituitary or lack of CRH in the hypothalamus. From top to bottom, I do not get stimulated adrenal properly and burning of prolonged stress.
Adrenal Fatigue is another common term used widely undiagnosed and extends throughout Lyme. Most often associated with intense or prolonged stress, can also occur in chronic infection. Fatigue in adrenal fatigue is not relieved by sleep and is very difficult to determine and find the cause. People experiencing adrenal fatigue often have to use coffee, cola, and other stimulants to go in the morning and sustain themselves in the daytime.
In my case, I do not have to bear as much as I could not get my adrenals to the wind. It feels like they are stuck in panic - red line, especially at night. My heart would race and jump and dance and pound for hours leaving me unable to sleep or even rest.Which will leave me tired for the next day where all I can do is lie around and sleep.
In extreme cases, like me, you may have trouble getting out of bed for more than a few hours in each day. With every increase of decrease in adrenal function, every organ and system in your body is more greatly affected. Changes occur in metabolism, fluid and electrolyte balance, heart and cardiovascular system and even sex drive.
Many other changes taking place in the biochemical and cellular level in response and to compensate for the decrease in the hormone adrenaline that occurs with adrenal fatigue. Your body is doing its best to make up and borrow when the adrenal fails to act, but it does so at a price.
As you can see, if you add this layer on top of Lyme disease are already struggling, the symptoms will be erratic and the entire board. The organs will start to fail one by one in chronic inflammation. Herein lies the extreme danger to Lymies.
Talk with your doctor about the problem of the adrenal. A trained naturopath, chiropractor or Lyme doctor will know how to test a low adrenal function and help sustain them with supplements, and make you function better and on the road to recovery.
