What is Adrenal Fatigue and Do I Have It? | SELF HEALTH + HEALING | Scoop.it

You might have pushed yourself physically too hard for too long, and found yourself suddenly unable to push anymore, your reserves completely drained.

Symptoms of Fatigue

 

There are more symptoms to fatigue than just feeling tired. Those symptoms include difficulty falling asleep, not feeling rested after a night's sleep, requiring a stimulant to get going in the morning, swelling around the eyes that subsides during the day, pain in the low back when pressure is applied, poor digestion, low libido, and many more. If it takes you awhile to get going each day, you may be suffering from fatigue, specifically from adrenal fatigue.
