Crushing fatigue. Yikes. You phrased that perfectly.I don't know where hydrocortisone is going. For now I am only sampling 2.5mg. If longterm, it would be for a year or less and at 20mg or less. Adrenal fatigue is the diagnosis based on physical symptoms, lab cortisol readings, and history.
Crushing fatigue can have several causes, but the top two as I see it are adrenal and thyroid issues, but usually both at the same time. Lab numbers are deceiving and not very useful. They are often harmful by appearing normal and keeping the patient from getting the treatment they need. Normal thyroid in the blood does not mean normal thyroid function. Long story. Hundreds if not thousands of people have had normal labs despite crushing symptoms, and improved dramatically with HC and T3.
