Katie's Strange Tiredness Update
Today I found out more, and traced the cause of a lot of it back to a poorly functioning pituitary gland. That controls your thyroid, your adrenal glands and your hormones. I've had hormonal issues as well. Applied Kinesiology, is awesome. Next week my current chiropractor will help me figure more of it out and find more solutions. I'm hoping that my acne will go away finally, I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep, and will be able to handle stress better, (I've handled so much of it so far I physically can't anymore!)
The energy I've had lately, even while being sleep-deprived and very busy, has been like a miracle in my life- such a change. I can work again! I can get off my butt and do stuff! And I want to do stuff because I'm not constantly drained! It's made me happier, be hopeful, feel more in control of things, and just basically gives me my life back. Now if I can just get to bed earlier and stay asleep! I wake up during the night with a tired body but an overly active brain and so have to spend usually two hours calming it by thinking, journaling or reading. Treating my hormonal issues and my ability to handle stress will help a lot, I'm thinking, (I have no adrenaline right now.)
But yay! I'm not the lazy bum who I feared I was- I was just physically unwell! That's such a relief to find out; I feared it greatly and condemned myself harshly for that. But hope! Hope is in Applied Kinesiology and chiropractic care! God knew what He was doing when He sent me to a chiropractor. :D
