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.
