Adrenal Fatigue

I've recently realized I have almost all of the symptoms for Adrenal Fatigue/Exhaustion.

I haven't been "diagnosed" by a doctor, but I've looked at tons of websites. I have been to the doctor, however, and I basically paid a lot of money for no answers.

One thing I'm NOT clear on, is how do you treat/cure it?
Have any of you had this, and what did you do to take care of it?

    An M.D. wouldn't diagnose you with adrenal fatigue, because it's not a recognized medical diagnosis.

    However, I'm sure that if you went to one of those Naturopathic wackadoos, they'd do it for you.

    The symptoms sound like they could be cause by not eating enough. Not saying you're not, but maybe something to consider.

    I'm eating enough. You can look at my diary.

    I realize the naturopath doctors can be WEIRD...but regular M.D.s never have diagnosis for my issues. I pay lots of money, and they run lots of tests and...no answers...

    Anyone ever had this?
  • Ask a naturopath about "baked licorice". You can get a powder version that you mix in water and drink like watery mud.

    I never had much faith in naturopathic "wakadoos" until a naturopath helped me fix an autoimmune thyroid condition that doctor said they could do nothing about. Go with an open mind.

    I know I am posting a month after you originally posted this topic. I too have been diagnosed with Adrenal Fatigue. My OB/GYN did all my testing. I am sending you a request to be my friend. I have been dealing with this for 6 months now.
