Fatigue
If you have adrenal fatigue and suffer from some of the above symptoms, performing consistently well both physically and mentally will be difficult and this is highly frustrating. Undertaking tasks which previously you could do without thought require more effort and you feel you are not performing to your optimum. These inconsistencies are caused by many physical anomalies prompted by a tired and run down body, adrenal fatigue and dysfunction is implicit to this
Three Stages of Adrenal Fatigue.
This condition may exhibit itself in three different phases.
The first stage is triggered by a prolonged and protracted stimulus to the adrenal glands, which can cause a spike in cortisol levels in the bloodstream. This stimulus could be any of a number of things such as, illness or infection, chronic pain, gluten intolerance, digestive problems or even toxic exposure ( in my case toxic exposure to liquid copper ) which at this phase can affect the production of critical hormones such as testosterone, progesterone and oestrogen. This eventually will throw off kilter the normal functions of your immune system and even your metabolic rate.
The second stage of adrenal fatigue and dysfunction is characterized by a decrease in cortisol and DHEA levels. You may start to experience symptoms like depression, insomnia, anxiety, weight loss, recurrent infections, and impaired memory to mention a few.
On the flipside, phase three of this condition occurs once the adrenal glands have become completely incapable of producing cortisol, while other hormonal imbalances may take place. Ultimately, you will start suffering from chronic fatigue, which can make you unable to execute day-to-day activities and work-related tasks.
