I'm absolutely exhausted, but there are enough good reasons for it that I'm not 100% sure whether or not I'm still sick.

I didn't sleep well Thursday night (the late work night). See, I was an idiot and drank a mug of caffeinated tea. I'd been wanting ten-plus hours of sleep lately, so staying up until 1AM was a serious challenge. But once I'd had the caffeine I couldn't sleep.

Friday was pretty much a loss. I was in the office, but I wasn't really present. I did some random work chores requiring no brain. Then I came home and passed out. I've been doing an awful lot of that lately: come home and pass out. So very tired!

Today I have spent most of the day alternating between "I can't keep my eyes open, so maybe I'll close them" and "I'm not sleeping, so maybe I'll open my eyes and read something". Now, at 11:30pm, I am perking up a little.

If this past couple of days doesn't make me relapse, I may be healthier than I thought. The cough doesn't mean much because those always linger for me. Now if only the exhaustion would go away I'd be content. Right now that is really the only remaining "symptom" I care about.

Depending on what stage of adrenal exhaustion you are at, there's an herbal supplement that helps slow the adrenals down. I've been taking it several times a day since september, its called Seriphos. You have to look around for it, Whole Foods does not carry it.
