Ashelton80 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Just curious if anyone has read all of the articles on Dr. Lam's website regarding Adrenal Fatigue/Exhaustion? My symptoms are almost word for word exactly as he maps them out. He also goes into detail about ANS dysregulation and a little on POTS. I have spoken to them before and I think I may give them a shot. I have already ordered all the supplements so I will let you all know how it goes and if I see any improvement. Let me know if you take the time to read some of his articles and what you guys think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I read the website and it is intriguing. I have some of the symptoms but really don't fit the profile. For example, I have trouble gaining weight and feel much worse after eating due to postprandial hypotension and seldom have respiratory issues. The relationship between cortisol and vasoconstriction is very interesting though. I can see where POTS symptoms definitely crossover with adrenal fatigue. I probably do have some degree of adrenal fatigue given my stress level but I am not convinced it causes all my symptoms. I have known a couple of people who went on this protocol and did improve......Hopefully, it will work for you Let us know - the supplements may be worth a try just to get the adrenals in better overall condition! And anything that helps with our overall health is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issie Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 In my case, I do believe it applies. I like the way he approaches things and agree with the fact that he feels cortisol may not be good for a long term bandaid and could even hurt the situation even more. I also agree that if you supplement with the wrong things - you can mess yourself up even more. I know allot about natural supplements - in every field of it. It is like a medicine and just throwing supplements at it could be wrong also. I plan to read more of the articles he's written. Just for giggles I took the adrenal stress test and almost all the questions applied to me. I have taken cortisol in the past - but felt like it made me worse. I don't think this is the whole and complete picture - but do feel it is a key part of the puzzle.Thanks for the site information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
