Gradually reduce your prednisone dosage as directed by your doctor. Never stop abruptly.
Prioritize a healthy diet rich in nutrients supporting adrenal function. Focus on:
- Plenty of fruits and vegetables Lean protein sources Healthy fats like avocados and nuts Limit processed foods, sugar, and caffeine.
Manage stress effectively. Stress exacerbates adrenal fatigue. Consider:
- Regular exercise (moderate intensity) Yoga or meditation Adequate sleep (7-9 hours nightly)
Supplement your diet with specific nutrients if recommended by your physician. These may include:
- Vitamin C Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) Magnesium Adaptogens like Ashwagandha (consult your doctor before using)
Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your adrenal function through blood tests. This allows for timely adjustments to your treatment plan.
Hydration is key. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Listen to your body. Rest when needed. Avoid overexertion during recovery.
Expect the recovery process to take time. It’s not immediate. Be patient and consistent with your self-care routine. Report any concerning symptoms to your physician immediately.
