Thank you for this video. I agree that the idea of adrenal fatigue and Addison’s being on par with each other doesn’t hold water. It reminds me of the meme of Geddy Lee (from Rush) standing next to several keyboards/synthesizers/foot pedals while having a dual guitar/bass strapped on with the words “So you can play guitar and sing at the same time? That’s cute.” Adrenal fatigue is the singing guitarist to the Geddy Lee meme of Addison’s. Keep battling with the rest of us!
I think there is. Depends in what context. No the glands don't get fatigue. The malfunctioning causes fatigue. Adrenal insufficiency does cause fatigue. Hence, Adrenal Fatigue. That would be my interpretation of adrenal fatigue . I don't think the literally meant that the glands themselves get fatigued. Could be wrong. I may have this disease.
I don’t know if I mentioned when we spoke, but the PA who treated me for Lyme and a naturopath years later both had mentioned “adrenal fatigue” as something that contributed to my symptoms of fatigue, joint pain, etc. I had even been on a supplement for it. I can say, now that I have adrenal insufficiency, the symptoms of a crisis are so much more extreme. I can also whole heartedly agree that diet and lifestyle completely resolved the prior symptoms!
Diet and lifestyle have a DIRECT impact on our quality of life and I feel many jump to "ADRENAL FATIGUE" let's 'treat it' with supplements as opposed to examining and managing lifestyle FIRST...thank you for sharing
You have helped me so much with info. It's been about a year since my SAI diagnosis. I am wondering if you have any experience with major surgery and recovery with AI. I will be having a hysterectomy and am terrified of my recovery. Any advice on this could be very helpful. Thank you for your content!❤
I am so happy you find this helpful!!! I dont have much experience but I had a screw put in my left foot in March of 2022...the advice I can give is work with your medical team for dosing during and after surgery. Make sure you feel confident in what is recommended and the ability of the medical team during surgery to understand the orders. Listen to your body afterwards and presurgery get lots of rest and eat well so your body is ready to heal! I have some videos on my journey about my foot surgery if you would like to watch them. I completely understand that you are terrified. Be prepared, rest, and listen to your body. Get that medical team to be very clear on orders for you! Let us know how you do! take care friend, good luck and thank you for watching!
I really enjoy your videos and they help me so much. I have been struggling with many many symptoms for 8 months. I haven't had much of a quality of life but I'm trying to make the best of it, as I have a 3 year old daughter. I have seen so many doctors including specialists and none of them can figure out what's wrong. After doing research, I feel I have Addison's. I see an endocrinologist on Friday. Thanks for the info! I hope I can get answers and treatment asap. I have been bound to chairs and beds this whole time! You're a tough lady!
Anything I can do to help please let me know. Trust your instincts and keep pushing for answers friend...please keep us up to date. Have you had your blood ACTH levels tested...it is a good starting point and the ACTH stimulation is the main test.
@@chronicallyfit_withjill thank you! He tested my ACTH. He also told me that Addison's doesn't cause severe muscle and joint pain. Did you ever experience that or know anyone who did? I have nausea but no vomiting. My blood pressure can be lower at times but was fine today. I am at a loss and so are all the doctors. I'm hoping these tests will give me more answers. I don't know what else to do. I'm hoping for help on here!
@@LifewithLily2021 Hey friend...YES joint pain..very common. He sounds very uneducated and close minded about it. I could barely walk in the mornings before I was DX. Blood pressure can likely be good somedays and bad others depending on your sodium intake and how you are compensating through your diet. Your ACTH was normal? Check for secondary adrenal insufficiency? This is when ACTH is low/normal but cortisol is low. Not enough ACTH usually is the cause. Keep pushing...you know something isn't right!
@@chronicallyfit_withjill how about muscle pain? I have horrible muscle pain and weakness as well. I think you're right. A lot of endocrinologists aren't informed on this disease or if they're they don't have a lot of patients with it and they may not experience the same symptoms. I eat a good amount of salt. I always have though. Definitely more now than ever. I haven't gotten my results yet. I just saw the doctor yesterday and got my blood drawn. I'm pushing! Thank you for your help! I wish I had more support right now.
@@LifewithLily2021 Yes muscle pain and being highly sensitive to touch and sounds. Ppl touching me lightly can be painful. Yes very misinformed...only what they read in a text book which is not much and outdated...good luck friend..keep us up to date.
I have sucked on a baggie or packet of salt since I was a kid, jars of olives/juice, pickles/juice. Tested for diabetes because everyone on my dads side had it and my sugar always seemed messed up. Tested for thyroid and mono young. Stomach pain, joint pain, nausea, dizzy, vertigo, migraine/crashes…I mean so many things. Can it really take decades to get to a point of basically having people watch you dying and finally tell you?! I have been basically bed/house bound for two years… and now everything is high and now low because my body was attacking my remaining ovary and so we decided it had to go because of endometriosis. Now I am taking estrogen, progesterone, testosterone…and hopefully steroids not for my Crohn’s. I think it’s the only reason I am still alive, because I have had to fight for low dose steroids for quality of life. 🙌
Yes this can mask some many things since effects every system of the body and we all seem to have similar but different symptoms. If you havent' yet please test for addisons. Acth stimulation test is a must. My cortisol was as in normal range when I was dx but my body figured out a way to survive on it. Take care friend..keep fighting for answers.
I knew there was something very wrong with my body too Jill. With all the Addisons symptoms. Which were not picked up by my GP. ? It takes so long to get diagnosed it seems???
I recently stopped sweating, at times when I should…under going testing. Have a ton of other tests too. Looking back my pregnancy BP of 66/44 while consuming SOOOO much salt 🤔

Agree...thank you for the comment....take care friend
My endocrinologist said there was no such thing as adrenal fatigue. He said adrenal glands are not muscles so can’t get fatigued.
Just FYI 😊
Correct. Muscles get fatigued not glands. They can malfunction, or shut down altogether, but never fatigue
Love it! ❤️

Yes our instincts tell us. Now let those same instincts guide you to better health ❤️
Maybe adrenal fatigue is some kind of precursor to adrenal death.
Hi, what helps with the sweating ?
Hey there. Im the opposite. I never sweat!! I have no advice sorry friend ❤️
I recently stopped sweating, at times when I should…under going testing. Have a ton of other tests too. Looking back my pregnancy BP of 66/44 while consuming SOOOO much salt 🤔
