Muscle pain, joint pain, cold feet, etc. for six months. What is it?

This "vegetative neurodystonia" that your naturopath diagnosed you with is just a made up term used by only a handful of docs to describe all these varied symptoms that happens to someone after a period of stress. It's just a useless term with no treatment outline or cure. In my six years of research on stress, adrenal fatigue is the most controversial but proper term for your symptoms. Your adrenal glands produce steroids (cortisol) that allow you to adapt to stress. They also control your metabolism and well-being. Once these steroids become depleted due to long lasting/ and or severe stress you get the symptoms you describe above. These steroids are also needed for the thyroid hormones to be able to reach your cells. A typical symptom of both low thyroid and cortisol is an all over aching of the body's muscles and joints. It will almost feel as if the bones are in pain. But don't think that anyone will diagnose you with these conditions because they don't show up on blood tests. You would need to see a select few very, very smart doctors that take into account their patients symptoms and history. P.s. I've been there and had the same symptoms after severe stress and I now take the adrenal steroid (hydrocortisone) and my muscles and joints are back to normal. It's only a small physiological dose which has no negative effects whats so ever.On this dose it is not possible to suffer from any of the side effects from larger doses of steroids. And it just supplements your own adrenal's effort to keep you well and healthy. Doctors are so scared of what they don't know! Good luck
