- I noticed when I was healing that when the holidays came up I was not interested in them (I was just too ill) and I just couldn't participate in them at all. This meant any type of holiday including my birthday. This can leave us feeling lonely, depressed, scared, detached from others, very disconnected from the world as we knew it. We use to be able to do all of these things and now we are sitting on the sidelines waiting. Just waiting.. I wanted to do this video because it is a reminder to take care of yourselves, to not be afraid to say that you can't. To say that you are too ill. You can't make other people happy right now. You can't do what they want you to do. You are on your own healing journey. I'm just a reminder to take good care of yourself during this time okay. To let you know that your feelings are valid whatever you feel and to let you know you are not alone. Many of us know exactly how you feel.
So much love to all of you. Let's just keep going on the path to wellness.
Petra
Thank You Petra and wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄
Thank you Petra…I needed to hear this as the past several days I have been itching like crazy and not exactly sure what brought it on !! I’m guessing it was the dandelion tincture I was taking every day (so beware of dandelion y’all‼️) and am still in the healing process. Very scary when your body starts having drastic symptoms and you can’t figure out why‼️
@@debrasmith4396 body is sensitive so you really see if you try something have to be careful. If you do try something have to use very small amounts and see if body can handle it.
@ yes herbs can be tricky…some of them are very strong‼️
Yes, so many of us think because it says tincture, herb, supplement that we are in a safe place. However, with this illness all of them can be tricky especially if you are in the advanced stages. xoxo Petra
@@petra3049 well not really an illness just a reaction so thankfully I’m feeling much better today just a little itchy still on my face
Thank you Petra …. I certainly need this today, as Christmas approaches l am finding it difficult to cope, l thought that l would cope reasonably well but that’s not the case - your words and understanding certainly help. I have felt more reassured recently with little encouraging improvements but today the impact of Christmas has suddenly hit me. To all AFS sufferers - let’s say thank you to Petra and listen to her sound and encouraging advice….we have words of encouragement from someone who has recovered. 🎄💖🎄
Here's the advice God gave me on how to heal from extreme adrenal fatigue, and what I learnt from making mistakes:
1. NO ALCOHOL (also not in dishes) (can put you back months in your progress)
2. NO STRESS (can come from people)
3. No working out, no cycling, don't lift heavy things
4. NO spicy food (I was not having breakthrough because I did not do this)
5. No caffeine
6. Rest immediately when your body calls for it
Thank you for this..
@@petra3049 Absolutely Petra! I heard about your pain, and wanted to share it. Is anything in it helpful for you?
@ I am healed but I also had this list plus more of what I had to do to help myself. This was a great reminder for some people. Thank you ❤️
@NLeone I am so happy that God gave you this list. 🙏
@@petra3049 That's amazing!!! Enjoy ❤❤❤
Hi Petra. Thank you. Yes I definitely been more down since Thanksgiving. Also my daughters Bday was 7th of December. Its like im getting a setback from all this. But thinking it will be over soon and i feel better 🙏⚘️
Hi Katarina, I am here as a reminder that if we are not careful we can do too much and then look what can happen. We want to just get back to the real world and function well in it but as you know this is definitely a step by step process. You will get there just pay attention. I know how it is believe me. Sending you love and always believe that you will heal. This is very important.
Thank you Petra. I feel better today when its over. This is so much emotions involved with this. Its an up and down day by day for me.
@ oh yes there are so many emotions involved in this. It brings up so many things. We struggle with the limitations and the fear this brings up.
Thanks for encouraging words today I’m in advanced stages and I’m on very restricted diet my body is only letting me eat the bare minimum
. I’ve had to cut out various foods since going into this stage and the amount eaten has to be so small.
@@lizdowd4788 you have a lot of stomach issues
@ no I don’t have stomach issues I believe it’s my body punishing me for letting my body go down into advanced stage as if I eat a little more my body seems to punish me by not letting me sleep and I have to urinate a couple of times before eventually going off to sleep in the early hours !! I dident realise what was going on because of brain fog but I ve realised at last what’s been happening over the last couple of weeks why is my body punishing me so badly ? I I had to stop some snacks I was having some months back and now I can only eat the same foods at the same time everyday if I go over by a quarter of a carrot then I won’t go off to sleep as the small amounts of food has to be the same everyday is anybody else going through this ? Im worried I’m going to lose weight this has been going on for ages but months ago when I was going downhill into advanced stages I had to stop snacks etc I’m really worried about all this I was supposedly getting help from a nutritionist who assured me she knew about adrenal fatigue ! It turned out after two and a half years of seeing her she did nothing for me apart from prescribe vitamins and suggest I take saliva tests.
I wish I’d known how adrenal fatigue progresses and you go downhill I’m in stage 3c now and it’s awful and isolating as you already know.
Not being able to eat is terrible
It really stinks not to have any Christmas spirit at all 😪
@@kathleendillon1572 I understand. I felt this way too. It’s just time now to take care of yourself. ❤️🌹
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
I’ve only celebrated the most intimate of holidays for many years now. Isolation from abusive family is one of my triggers for AF originally.
However, hubby and I really love to create a very involved holiday celebration. I might get that from Filipino background (as an aside Filipinos spend the most time on Christmas I think in the whole world 😂 it begins in September!)
However I do get carried away, stay awake too late at night, forget to eat clean foods, drink enough water, etc.. that this is a good reminder for me to just slow down. I put a lot of energy and effort into making a miniature Christmas village on a large table. Felt so exhausted and normally that activity wouldn’t make me feel so tired but.. AF. I really need to slow down a lot. Anyway thank you again. I hope your holidays are magical and full of joy!
Hey there, so nice to hear from you . Wow, you have done a lot of healing. So good to hear this news. Oh this miniature Christmas village must be amazing. I see that you already started your Christmas preparations in September so I believe the Filipinos do win the award for who spends the most time on Christmas. WOW!!-- You gave me a list of things now that you will watch out for during this time. Pay attention, make sure you get a lot of rest at night too. May this be the Christmas that brings you joy, love, health and many magical moments. xoxo Petra
@@petra3049thank you always for your encouragement! Yes I feel I have healed a bit but still needing more. I will be sure to heed the advice to rest, drink lots of water, eat appropriate foods and just take it easy ☺️
🎄🎄
Bless!
Petra I still love your videos ❤ Nina x
@@Bubblesandcandyfloss thank you for checking in. How are you ?💖💖
I did not know AFS was different from adrenal insufficiency. They sound exactly the same. It boggles me that you don’t have to take steroids for that.
Yes they are different. I have read and seen that some decide with AFS to try a bit of the hydrocortisone. Yes, they do too have a lot of similar symptoms . You fortunately can do some testing to figure out adrenal insufficiency.
@ no I have adren so I have to take steroids for the rest of my life. It’s miserable but everything you talk about sounds just like what I’m going through.
@ I have adrenal insufficiency since 2020 of January. I’ve done all the test I’ve seen all the endocrinologist. It’s just me now fighting myself to get better.
@@ElectricFrye yes so similar in their presentation. I understand your feelings. How long on the hydrocortisone so far?
@@petra3049 four years 25 mg in the morning 10 mg in the afternoon, depending if I go through stress, I have to stress dose more steroids If not, I crash I will have to go to the hospital get hydrated they would have to inject 100 mg of steroids in me until I get better. Adrenaline efficiency really really is hard.
