Hi Tamij

I have symptoms of CFS and I got my adrenal stress test results yesterday. Although I haven't got all the details yet, the nutritionist told me that I have an abnormally high level of cortisol early in the morning (and therefore also at night) which then drops very low in the day.

I have been feeling so bad for over a year (actually not getting any better which I hoped would happen eventually with CFS) and yes, I think we are onto something here.

I really hope that treating the adrenal glands will make a difference provided the old thyroid gland hasn't become upset, too.

Being in the UK, I am not sure what options I have but I am going to discuss it with my nutritionist later this month.

Best regards
Michaela
