Funny thing about going to the gym-my doc told me again today that until I get my adrenals to where they should be, I should limit my time at the gym to weight training & short doses of cardio. Anything more extreme will deplete my body even more. I agree that working out can really help, but at some point, it can make things worse if not in moderation.

I haven't been to the gym in 3 months. I'm just so damn tired. I can't get myself to go! I really miss the gym.

I just drag myself out and go. I nearly broke my neck coming home just then but as I've said before I'm lucky with my working hours, got kicked off my course cos I couldn't say I'd be able to finish it and right now the exercise is keeping me sane and happy. Once you get into it, the momentum carries you there really.

I always feel tired, I don't know how tired is too tired though, if that makes sense??!! My alarm goes off at 6 and it's now half 10 at night and I'm still up!! But I find even when I go to bed at 9 I'm still tired...I never know what's normal and what isn't - a bit like period pain before I'd heard of endo!!!!!!

I`m like you I am tired all the time, it doesn`t seem to matter if I have a nap, we even bought a new bed in hopes of better sleeping, but nothing has helped.
I exersize twice a week on my wii, I have a kick ass cardio workout by Golds gym, and I just sweat, but my abdominal pain is always worse after, and it is hard to get motivated to do more than that....

A little jive before you eat your breakfast, a little nap after work before you get into family life and dinner time, a good bedtime routine. I don't nap but my sister still has symptoms of her ME and she does that. I'll think on it because last year I'm remembering I was sleeping 14 hours some nights! I'd love to help at least one person. I get tired easily but the gym makes me happy so I always get there.

I've been fatigued for over 10 years, and I always thought it was the depression, then the endo. My naturopath says it is likely my adrenal glands. Go figure.

And honestly, the adrenals can be such an easy fix! The difference for me is night and day. Shame that normal docs don't consider it until test levels are into the 'disease' state and things are awful...
What does your natropath have in mind to treat?

Karen based on what your doc told you about training with the adrenal problem (I'm constantly in pain so thought it would be beneficial to try what your doc prescribed) I did lots of weights as normal then 2 short bursts of cardio. The difference in how I woke up this morning was amazing! I'm very happy I woke up and stayed awake when my alarm went off. I can't remember the last time I actually woke up as soon as the music came on, usually I wake up 10-30 minutes into it, or my sister has to drag me out of bed for work. And funnily enough, I did the cardio more intensively due to doing shorter sesssions, half an hour total and I burned more calories than ever before. So thank you so much for sharing, I look forward to how it will pan out short and long term.

A bit of activity really does help you get your energy levels up, if you use that to ramp you up to a level where you're ready to go to the gym. I used to dance around my bedroom for half an hour to stave off depression and eventually I wanted more and wanted to get fit so I joined the gym and have never regretted it.

I gave up one to Total Fitness but now working for the council I found out what Liverpool council gyms are like, and I pay top whack £30 cos I expect I might try a class or take their swimming course which is normally £80, it's tons better than TF, no juiced up idiots throwing weights, the best machinery I have ever seen, cleanest and best maintained gym I've ever been to, and I've tried a few private ones. Oh and all the rugby players at my gym aren't too hard on the eye check out your locals and see if they're worth investing in, if you're thinking of going back. I must be the only person I kno9w who doesn't have a Wii. My nephew had one when he was 2 years old.
