This all came on abruptly after a long stretch of elevated stress. <br /><br />I think it's funny the Mayo Clinic website calls "adrenal fatigue" not a real condition and that there's no evidence that chronic stress can affect adrenal function and then says this diagnosis detracts from real conditions like fibromyalgia (which as far as I know, we have almost no understanding of, etiology or otherwise). <br /><br />Why is it lab results can indicate low thyroid levels of varying kinds and we recognize that as hypothyroidism but unless your adrenal glands are completely dead and can't produce any cortisol (Addison's) then you don't have anything wrong with you and your symptoms must have another name than non-Addison's hypoadrenia?Cate's Follyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489170974303163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-34460371251790913892012-02-26T14:54:21.794-05:002012-02-26T14:54:21.794-05:00Oops!
