Adrenal fatigue and neck issues...

I'm beginning to think I will always live in a world of perpetual fatigue. It feels like a never-ending battle somedays! Over the last couple of weeks it seems to have gotten even moreso, and I'm guessing just by my other symptoms that the adrenal fatigue is back in a big way. Unfortunately I don't have the time to deal with it. Life is so busy right now, and there's so much to be done. I think if I could have a week of lazy days, long sleepy nights, and sleep-in mornings along with good nutrition, no stress, and someone to make meals for me, I might be able to heal my adrenals, but with being a stay-at-home year-round homeschooling mom, that's just not going to happen. Plus, it's summer, a very busy time for us.

My neck is also still a bother. Between the car accident I had fourteen years ago (whiplash) and the trauma from the tooth that went bad and had to be pulled, my neck has been through enough to probably cause me problems the rest of my life. When my neck is in adjustment I have less off-balance and dizzy feelings, but when it's out I feel very unstable and have lots and lots of headaches. Today is one of those days. My neck has been out since yesterday morning and I have constant pain and a nasty headache. There is also a pulsating feeling from one of the nerves being pinched in the back of my neck and I can feel every pulse...it feels very irritating.

Believe it or not, things are looking up. I don't feel half as bad as I did a year ago, and not even close to as bad as two years ago. I don't even want to discuss three and four years ago!
