Guest guest Posted December 4, 2001 Report Share Posted December 4, 2001 http://www.myvits.com/bodymech/bodymech-adrenals.htm Symptoms and Diagnosis Individuals subjected to great stresses may develop adrenal maladaptation syndrome. In these instances, the glands work beyond their capacity, passing through the alarm reaction, the stage of resistance, and finally reaching the stage of exhaustion. Adrenal maladaptation syndrome may cause a variety of symptoms, depending on which organ system is the " weak link " in the chain. Some of the most common symptoms are listed in Table I. Symptoms are often similar to those found in persons who suffer from hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia. Prior to treating someone with thyroid for suspected hypothyroidism, it is important to first determine whether there is some adrenal involvement. Supplemental thyroid given to patients who are both hypothyroid (low thyroid) and hypo-adrenal, who are not first provided with adrenal support, will often suffer from a worsening of their symptoms. However, despite this warning in the Physician's Desk Reference ( " Thyroid hormones are generally contraindicated in patients with uncorrected adrenal cortical insufficiency. " ), it is an extreme rarity for physicians to evaluate adrenal function prior to prescribing thyroid hormone replacement. _____________ Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at http://www.mail2world.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2001 Report Share Posted December 5, 2001 I only just realized that this may be my problem too. The stress in my case has mostly come from years of alcohol over indulgence. My adrenals must be pretty whipped. I don't see my gp until next mo. If he doesn't take me seriously I'll consult an endocronologist.
