Hi Katie,

I know that severe stress can affect your adrenals and affect your immune system as well. What you might consider is seeing someone who can help you with your stress and ruling out any stress disorders first.

Yeah, I've often thought I might have chronic fatigue syndrome......I've definitely had enough stress for 13 years to last someone a lifetime! :o(

I forgot to say that I have had tests run yearly, like a complete physical every year, and it always comes back normal. Although I haven't had one since 2006, because I'm tired of doing it! The last few years have been the worse with the symptoms listed above, but I have also been like 70 pounds overweight.
