Adrenal Fatigue and not getting better, is there any hope?
I honestly can say I see now why some people with chronic illnesses say they'd rather just die. It's awful having an illness no one can see. I'm so tired of being told I'm lazy and too young to feel this way. Please, can someone look my care plan out and tell me where I'm going wrong? I work night shift, keep in mind. My Saliva test results were as follow: (Morning/MY bedtime) 0.8, (Noon/midnight) 0.8), (evening/MY early morning) 0.7), (night/MY bedtime), 2.3
I realize night shift doesn't make this any easier but Ive had this since I was a teenager, I just had no idea what it was and thought everyone felt this way and that I was just inferior in some way shape or form. Anyway this is how I supplement:
9PM/time to wake up:
AdrenAll
Carlsons mini multi (minerals&vitamins)
Fatigued to Fantastic B Complex
7AM/time to go to bed:
AdrenVive
Magnesium Glycinate 400
Acidohpilus
Carlsons mini multi
I still feel like death. No energy. All I do is sleep. I've actually had to start taking naps on my 30 min breaks. Any suggestions on what I should try? I'm going to start coconut water and was looking into ACV pills for suspected candida overgrowth/acid reflux.

Sorry I am tired, and forgot to tell you your cortisol tests are more consistent with Cushing's rather than low cortisol and that would make more sense.
I am not an adrenal fatigue person...
If you have low cortisol, sodium and potassium will be off and usually blood pressure will be low, and people crave salt. Any testing to show low sodium or low cortisol?
Unfortunately fatigue is a general symptom and can be hormones, vitamins, auto-immune issues or other issues so there is no pinpointing a disease unless you have more specific symptoms. Low immune system... have you seen an alllergy/immunology doctor?

Not in years. If ever, actually. I don't really have the money or luxury of getting tons of tests done, so I don't know where to start in that aspect
You have to test to rule things in or out. Get copies. It does take time.
