Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome is a group of signs and symptoms which people experience when their adrenal glands are exhausted and overworked. The adrenal glands become depleted to the point that they are unable to produce adequate supplies of hormones, in particular cortisol. Severe adrenal fatigue is known medically as Addisons Disease. In either case, the adrenal glands are functioning sub-optimally, which has devestating effects on one's ability to cope with normal, everyday activities. People with adrenal fatigue or Addisons Disease look and act relatively normal, with no obvious signs of physical illness, yet they live with a general sense of unwellness and extreme tiredness. They will often find it difficult to get up in the morning, feel tired at certain times during the day, and only get through the day with the help of stimulants such as coffee and energy drinks. |

The paramount symptom is fatigue that is not relieved by sleep. It often appears during or after acute or chronic infections, especially respiratory infections such as influenza, bronchitis or pneumonia. However, rather than the infections being the cause of the adrenal fatigue, they are rather the 'last straw' effect after a long line of previous stresses that have occured in the person's life. This is a critical piece of information which is usually overlooked.
