Adrenal fatigue is a very common thing in modern times. Essentially adrenal fatigue is when the demands on the adrenal glands are so great, they become overwhelmed and are unable to keep up with demand, thus causing deficiencies of certain hormones (like adrenaline, cortisol, etc.)
Personally, I strongly believe that I have suffered from adrenal fatigue for the greater part of my life. And when looking up the symptoms of this problem on the internet, I find that they fit me like a book. I've composed a list based on my findings and experience. If you have experienced symptoms that are not found on this list, let me know in the comment section below and I'll add it. This page is intended to be a "symptoms page only". In other words, I will be writing many other posts about the causes and treatments for this nasty condition (I'll put in links, and there will be 'label links' at the bottom of the page as well).
