My Life on Fatigue - A Typical Day: 

I’d crawl out of bed in the morning to see my fiancé off and then go back to bed and sleep deeply until late morning.

I only got up then because I felt guilty. I “should” be doing something.  

Then I would have lunch, drink a couple cups of coffee while my head cleared.  I’d work for a couple hours then it was time for a nap. Or, I’d end up listlessly on the couch in front of the T.V. under the guise of  “taking a break.”  

By late afternoon I would start to perk up just in time to pick up the house a bit, walk the dog and start on dinner. By the time Michael came home I was looking busy – bustling about like any happy, productive partner.  

“I felt like I was living a lie – I was ashamed and miserable. I didn’t tell him what was going on because I didn’t understand it myself. I kept thinking it was a phase and it would pass.”

 
The Isolation  

Had less and less energy to keep up with my business. Colleagues faded away because of my lack of participation. I wasn’t “showing up” at events on or off line.

I didn’t have the energy to pursue opportunities that I’d worked so hard to create. 

Bless my friends who would keep calling!  I’d only respond to calls that sounded like “Viveca, this is Lesley. I called you last week – call me I’m getting worried.”  

Over time (AF creeps up on you over time) I dropped out of the activities I enjoyed. I stopped going to Salsa Class - hardly went to dog beach or dog park. Stopped organizing get togethers and outings with friends.
 

The Shame & The Fear

I assumed there was something wrong with me morally, not physically. Physically I looked fine – healthy, strong – therefore it had to mean that … 

I was lazy, unmotivated, unreliable, incompetent, unfocused, disorganized, not good enough and maybe the worst of all … 

I was old. This is how it felt when you were past the prime of your life ...

The Turning Point – What went wrong and then went right 

First, I moved to a new state and left my MD behind. SHE was the one who’d told me that nothing was wrong I just needed to “tough it out.”   

Next, my trusted "healer" died. I had counted on her for herbs, wise counsel and energy work that had always made me feel better. I was devastated.

Then it started to go right ...  I listened into The Health & Beauty Revolution Show and heard a doctor talking about solutions for insomnia, adrenal fatigue (I had never heard that term before) - about thyroid & liver function and ... I was riveted.

Next a friend told me about a magazine to get called First for women on the go. She read a headline to me that went like this …The #1 female TIREDNESS TRIGGER - 80 % of American women will suffer from adrenal fatigue …
There was that adrenal fatigue word again. Was it a coincidence? I had to find out more.

Long story, short.  I ran out and bought that magazine and started researching on the internet. I started a chat topic in the Wild Business Women’s Tribe, an on-line women’s community, and the suggestions, shares, solutions starting coming in – I was on my way! There was no holding my health back!

Kept reading, researching, chatting and changing health habits, lifestyle habits, and spiritual habits – integrating one thing at a time …

Starting going to my doctor with a symptoms checklist I developed and books and questions ... Stopped being a passive "wallflower." My interest in health sparked their interest in helping me. Instead of expecting them to guess how I felt, or "fix" me, we became partners.

Progress not perfection. I'm alive again! I have days when I feel GREAT & good & "fine" & blah.
I have different levels of energy vs. one, grey, level! 

My life isn't perfect. Last night I fell into the Adrenal Fatigue "second wind" and stayed up till 1:00 watching that T.V. Show
"Law & Order." Woke up tired & annoyed at myself. Today I'll eat all the right foods but if you plopped me in Paris I would not be going to pastry shops looking for brown rice ... I am human and all of this is part of that experience.

 It’s been just 12 months since I first heard of Adrenal Fatigue and started this journey. Along the way I also uncovered Allergies  & Anemia & Candida! They all seem to play off of each other. The changes I made in nutrition, lifestyle, spirit and attitude affect all of them. I continue to grow & learn and heal one day at a time.

 These days I am passionate about helping others re-cover and re-energize. I can't help it. It is so exciting to have a life back! So, I gathered up everything I learned and packed it into a short & sweet e-Guide called ...
