This makes more sense than any other 'theory' I have read...I have always wondered if it was more a brain syndrome, especially as I have an elapsed pituitary - basically when others have a pea sized gland, I have a slither...endos only test if its emitting the correct hormones, but ignore its use inthe HPA system.

Wow, good info. but to much for my poor sick brain to comprehend and read.
Wished there was a way to sum it all up in a nutshell, in one 11 x 7 page.

If someone has the time to read all this, that was posted, and can sum it up in a few paragraphs, the basics, that would be wonderful.

I'd come to think that "Adrenal Fatigue" was actually dysregulation of the (L)HPA axis. This fella is saying it's specifically in the H part, the hypothalamus. In particular, the PVN (paraventricular nucleus).

My hunch was that the issue was in the link between the (L)imbic system and the (H)ypothalamus, in particular something to do with the limbic system's amygdalae. Just a hunch.

I'll have to look more deeply into this.

Lately I've been suspecting that bad sleep is a major contributing factor.

Thanks for the link.
