Hi Paulette,

I am so sorry you are feeling so ill. I had these issues, plus pains in the arms, numbness in fingers and went to a neurologist and he had no clue what was happening to me. This was about 2 months before I got iller due to very low sodium. Pllus low cortisol. I surely believe this is all related to your severe stage of AF.

Have you had a hair analysis done? I don't remember if you did.

When you were first on zoloft were your symptoms much better?

I'm feeling that spaciness right now...not too much fun. Bless your heart Paulette, i sure do wish you the absolute best. I wish i could offer you more insight but right now i'm the one needing the insight because i'm a bit lost and really not heading to any direction with my diet.

The only thing i follow is a gluten free diet and the 2 meds i take with some supps that really do nothing but prevent

Hi Paulette,

Supplements I find help with anxiety: Gaba, 5HTP, Fish Oil, Star Flower Oil, and Magnesium Oxide.

Have you tried any of these?

Ricky

Forgot to add:

Drenatrophine, from Standard Process (an adrenal glandular) has also helped quite a bit.

In addition, I find that avoiding fried foods helps me.

I'm in much better shape now regarding anxiety issues. It doesn't dominate my life. I eat a Paleo diet - just meat and vegetables. No grains at all. If you feel up to it, try this diet for a few days and see if it helps.

Good luck

Ricky

ps
You once recommended Life Extension Multivitamins to me in this forum. They've been great for improved energy. Thanks for that.

Yes Marie, I get a log of neurological symptoms. Spaciness, ect. ect. I also get a feeling of crawling on my brain and like someone is tightening a rubber band around my head sometimes. Also I get this pressure and tightness that gives me actual goose bumps sometimes. It sucks, in fact it is by far my worst symptoms. Beside the Depression that has sucked the life out of me. I will say this all started when I had a severe reaction to an anti-depressant. So whether it is related to that I don't know. Sometimes I think I have permanent brain damage from just that one pill because I have never been the same. I hope that is not the case but I don't have any answers. I know it can be scary not having answers. I will say that the anxiety for me has let up. I don't know exactly why but I am thankful, although it has been replaced by a dark desperate Depression that is just as bad. At least with the anxiety I could pop a pill and make it go away, the Depression is not so easy. Anyways I wish I had answers for you. I will say that I do see a doctor who has given me a lot of information about my situation. Yes he is a real doctor not an M.D. but what he says makes a lot of sense to me. If you would like to check out his website it is called The Definitive Mind. His name is doctor Romeo Mariano. He is incredibly intelligent and also believes in holistic approaches to medicine. If you want his description of what he believes Adrenal Fatigue is you can type in Adrenal Fatigue and Doctor Mariano. It is a pretty interesting read and he has a whole web site that gives a lot of great info. Maybe worth a read.

Good luck to you on your journey and speedy healing for both:)
