Adrenal Problems?

[Ed in Baja]

Three months post diagnosis, going well. But some weeks ago I went deep sea fishing, fought some really big fish, came home and was flat for a week, all the fatigue returning. Endo Doc says it might be adrenal problems as well, suggested "polyendocrine syndrome". Any body else have experience of this? I suppose it stands to reason, all of the hormones work together(I heave Type 1 diabetes too).

Incidently, this week did a challenge test with 2 tecate beers...the next day got a raging HD lesion in the same place on my thigh, have not had it for weeks before!

All I know is when I first got diagnosed I was seeing so many dr. and they had told me my adrenals were on there way to being a "burnt out" ..I never fully understood it but once I was eating gluten free for a while and I also took...a lot of different natural supplements the glands got stronger...I remember them saying things like "when they are hyper active" maybe the gluten makes them kick into overdrive and then they get tired....the only reason they discovered that was bc my blood pressure was dropping an extreme amount each time I went from laying down to sitting to standing..I would often faint... I hope you are taking probiotics and watch out for Cross contamination! Good luck I'm still working on it myself!
