Has anyone heard or read about our adrenal glands not working right? It seems to be connected somehow. Any thoughts??
I hadn't heard of this but reading about it this is what I found .
When you think of the adrenal glands (also known as suprarenal glands), stress might come to mind. And rightly so—the adrenal glands are arguably best known for secreting the hormone adrenaline, which rapidly prepares your body to spring into action in a stressful situation.
But the adrenal glands contribute to your health even at times when your body isn’t under extreme stress. In fact, they release hormones that are essential for you to live.
I've heard this and have been told I have adrenal fatigue but most regular doctors don't acknowledge this as a real condition.
My endocrinologist just gave me the ADCT adrenal gland blood test. He stated there are 6 stages. I return in 2 was for the results.
I have adrenal insufficiency, I have been on hydrocortisone for two years. I am finally starting to be able to get off of the steroid in the next month.
I've been doing some reading on it. I don't know if I have it or not. May be worth looking in to. Gentle hugs!
