Causes of Adrenal Fatigue
The changes that take place in your body from many acute illnesses to a number
of chronic diseases place demands on your adrenals to produce the energy you
need to keep functioning day to day. Therefore, as a general rule, if you have
a chronic illness and morning fatigue is one of your symptoms, your adrenals
are likely fatigued to some degree. Also anytime a medical treatment includes
the use of corticosteroids, like prednisone, diminished adrenal function is
most likely present. All corticosteroids are designed to imitate the actions
of cortisol, a hormone secreted by the adrenals, and so the need for them
arises primarily when the adrenals are not providing the required amounts of
cortisol.
