I saw my practitioner on Thurs and she feels like she ought to treat me very gently at first(ie...various vitamins etc), but I don't think she knows how bad the symptoms are. They are getting increasingly worse...the adrenaline is keeping me from sleeping AT ALL last night. I got 3 hours fitful sleep after the sun rose and I am extremely jittery from the adrenaline in my system. I am trying not to lose my focus on God and that is hard to do!
I know she needs to move to the test taking phase which will take some time. Please pray that she has the wisdom to help me. I show many symptoms of being hypothyroid and adrenal fatigue without a history of testing for it...so it would be hypothyroid type II by our research...please pray for me as this is an awful weekend for this to happen. Who wants to help a sick pregnant woman Easter weekend.
thank you for your prayers!! |

Oh, Donna Marie. You have my prayers. I started suffering from severe insomnia with my pregnancies where I could NOT fall asleep all night despite exhaustion with Number 6. I then had three more hoping it would not be an issue, but they have all been very hard, and I did have to start taking medicine. Things then became bearable.
I am very very very sympathetic as this is a cross very dear to my heart. It is crucial to be able to sleep.
God bless you, and may you find relief and rest.

My cortisol test came back showing that my body is releasing a morning dose of cortisol at the end of the day when I should be sleeping...it is so weird to be exhausted and tired and have that adrenaline running so hard. I am so very tired.
They are recommending a few things for me and one makes me feel weird. I need to reset my body clock so that I can rest at night and not at 6am for the first time..and only a few hours at that!
Please keep me in your continued prayers!

THANK YOU Jen! ...And everyone for your friendship and support. This is a VERY hard thing to go through. It makes my heart lighter to know that I have your friendship and prayers. They mean so very very much to me. I am trying very hard not to lose sight of what I am doing despite how many hours are between here and August. My love and prayers go out to all of you!
