Millions of people around the world suffer from some form of adrenal fatigue whether it is Addison’s Disease, Cushing’s Disease, or somewhere in between. Many people probably don’t know they have adrenal fatigue, but are plagued with fatigue that is not cured by sleep. In this fast-paced, high stress world, the World’s citizens are burning out faster, are less able to handle stress; their bodies can’t tackle allergies and illnesses like they could before; their bodies’ hormones are out of balance leading to many health problems; people are more irritable and frazzled when it comes to handling life’s situations.
What’s worse, is that while we (those who know we have a form of adrenal fatigue) suffer and struggle years to heal, the majority of the medical community does not recoginize adrenal fatigue outside the areas of Addison’s Disease and Cushing’s Disease. Many of the world’s people with adrenal fatigue are within the two areas of Addison’s and Cushing’s.
Something needs to be done to raise awareness about this debilitating medical condition. The world and the medical community especially need to be made aware of the seriousness of adrenal fatigue. I came up with a way to do this, but it will require the participation of others who have adrenal fatigue. I thought of collecting people’s stories on their experiences with adrenal fatigue, putting them into a book, and having the book published. The voices of adrenal fatigue sufferers in this book will serve as a shout out, not only to the world, but to the medical community, in hopes of bringing adrenal fatigue into the light. Only when enough voices are heard and adrenal fatigue in the spot light will everyone realize that something needs to be done to help the areas of adrenal fatigue not already addressed.
If you are an adrenal fatigue sufferer, will you help me in this quest by submitting your story for my book? If you are uncertain and scared of submitting your story, I understand. It’s not an easy thing to share part of your life experience with the world. But you must remember that fear is what hinders progress. Progress that desperately needs to be made so that we sufferers can STOP suffering and heal and go on to live normal lives sooner than later. We must work together for this much needed change!!
If you are interested in sending me your stories please leave me a comment or send me an e-mail at: jisoucie@gmail.com.
Thanks and I hope we can help raise adrenal fatigue awareness together!
