Holy SH*t, its working
I have to share the excitement here.
As loyal readers, what few I have left, may recall, my ability to recover from physical exertion, or any stress, is extremely limited. Its better, a walk up stairs used to require a rest half way, but it is exceeded by all but a brisk walk.
I have been treating it aggressively. I quit the gym, stopped surfing unless it was great, worked on relaxing meditations daily and tinkered with B-5, p5p increases, Glutamine (surprisingly effective), GABA, adaptogens and adrenal extract (hormones removed). Its been rocky but over the past year, getting better. At one point all the supplements were so stimulating (which is common in people with flat lined adrenal glands), that I would not sleep for days. Well, that is resolved, somewhat, and today I can proudly announce that I surfed for three days in a row, an hour or more each time, and today and functioning fine. This is unheard of. Oh, I can feel it burning in my system and crying for action, but its manageable. I can be productive on this day and that has been over a decade that I was unable to do this.
Ho-fucking-Rah.
