I have been researching my symptoms online and found I have many characteristics of adrenal fatigue syndrome. Worst is the debilitating fatigue besides my apparent intolerance to simple carbs.

I don't think I am depressed as I am happy to be alive and happy to be me so that wouldn't be depression, would it?

I am diagnosed with ADHD, severe PTSD. bipolar with psychotic features and considering borderline personality disorder.

I talked to my doctor about it and while he said with my history adrenal fatigue was certainly within the realm of possibilities there is no good diagnostic test that cannot be skewed by other factors.

In September my doctor started me on cytomel for my thyroid and glucophage for my glucose intolerance. I am having moments now where I feel energetic, no actually those moments I feel normal, but usually I am drained and having trouble completing simple tasks.

Does anybody here have any knowledge or experience with adrenal fatigue syndrome?
