Hi Barb! At my last endo visit, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Isn't that adrenal though? Hope things will get better. Let us know how your

test results turn out!!!

Well, I need to hit the sack...gotta get up in 6 hours! UGH!!!! Hugs, Sheila

testing the adrenal gland. That kind of shook him for a moment and

then he said that adrenal problems could mean 's Disease.

He listened to my lungs, heart, peeked into my ears, and throat &

checked the thyroid very carefully. He ordered a ton of blood tests,

including my levels, something like CRP and another one that began

with an A.

He said he wants to see the results of the tests. If they don't show

anything, then we'll talk about meds. He says it sounds like chronic

fatigue, but he wants to check for anything that might be treatable

before settling on that.

It seems doctors want to lump every disease with CFS---which I had 12

years ago and beat it with vitamins and at that time it was

considered from a bad viral infection that one could not get over and

the results were a chronic fatigue/infection there after---with

swollen lymph nodes, yeast infections, epstein barr virus, CMV virus -

-these kind of viruses grow in your body when your immune system

fails and on top of that whatever caused the illness in my case was a

nasty type of pneumonia. This was the prime case example.

My blood work was a mess with whatever bug was lurking just took off

and grew to where I was overwhelmed with disease. I fought this for

two years straight and then another 5 years before I got rid of all

the yeast infections (thanks to mega doses of vitamin C) have not had

a episode since.

So unless this is your type of blood work---I would look into what

Shelia suggested adrenal fatigue with low thyroid disease!!!! It's

very common with thyroid!!! and so untreated.

Sheila,

I thought people with CFS couldn't function. It seems to me that you're so

fatigued b/c you're sooo busy. You should slow down. That surprised

me......

When I first started Armour I had a spell of about 6 weeks of CFS. I could

barely hold a coffee cup and spent days in bed. I thought I was going

through a healing crisis but actually I needed cortisol for adrenals.
