3 Months In

We are now at the 3-month mark of when I began this Adrenal Fatigue program.  While I am still struggling with several things, I have definitely improved in a lot of areas as well.  This is what I need to focus on.
My list is as follows, which I have pasted in from a previous post, and as you can see, I have crossed out those that are no longer an issue for me:

Extreme fatigue/exhaustion

Occasional dizziness

Mental fog/haze (this comes around occasionally, but is mostly gone)

Incontinence

Bloating, stomach gurgling

Menstrual woes - severe gas pains, short cycles (23-24 days), long periods (7-8 days)

Memory loss

Tonsil stones

Halitosis

Depression

Anxiety (greatly improved, but still an issue at times)

Eczema - right ear, right hip, back of neck/hairline, left forearm, elbows and knees

Reflux/heartburn

Irritability

Occasional shortness of breath

Heart palpitations

Poor circulation

Kidney stones

Low libido (to none)

Dry skin (seemingly improved)

Fingernail ridges

Sugar cravings (occasionally crave, but not nearly as bad)

Acne - forehead, neck under the ears, upper back

Neck going out - needs readjustment every 1-2 months

Severe seasonal allergies

So we have come a long way in the past 3 months, but we are definitely not there yet.  And even that is ok, because according to the doc, it should be a minimum of 6 months to a year (and maybe beyond) before I would be completely healed.

Today, I had my 3-month follow-up with the chiropractor and we discussed some things that are lingering.  Since I still have some issues with reflux and heartburn occasionally, he wants me to supplement a digestive aid that I have on hand and see if that helps.  If I continue to have issues, we will address them another way.  There could still be a chance of a bacteria issue, or it could be that since I have to steer clear of gluten, my diet is heavy on corn, which is difficult to digest for most.  Either way, I'm not giving up, and we will take it a day at a time.

I have ordered my next 3-month supply of all my goodies of vitamins and drops, so I'm ready to continue down this path and keep plugging away.

The first of my three school kids starts back up tomorrow, so life will kick back into full swing again.  (Even though I don't feel like summer slowed down anything!)

My big race, the Chicago Half-Marathon, is in just 19 days.  I am very excited to run this, and have been working hard training for it.  At the same time, I'm looking forward to it being over so I can give my body a little more rest that it needs to recover.

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.  Romans 5:3-5
