I Was Diagnosed With Adrenal Fatigue
If you ask any GP in the UK if you might have adrenal fatigue, they will say there is no such thing. But after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I was told by the pain clinic that Fibromyalgia *is* adrenal fatigue (which just goes to show that GPs know very little in depth about common illnesses).
Unfortunately, the pain clinic went on to say that it was their belief that adrenal fatigue is caused by the brain and nervous system being on high alert after trauma - which is a baseless theory since they do no adrenal or genetic testing whatsoever.
Always get a second, third, fourth opinion, and educate yourself. Good doctors are willing to concede the patient sometimes knows more than they do.
