Recently diagnosed with severe adrenal fatigue and prescribed hydrocortisone. I asked if there were any other treatments and he said no. However, now I'm seeing many other adrenal treatments to support the adrenal glands. Why would my doctor tell me there were no other treatments for me. Is mine just too severe for supplements to work? What is the difference between between adrenal fatigue and Addisons? He's currently weaning me off to see if my my adrenal glands will start up,again, if not he says I will have to be on hydrocortisone for life. I'm so confused! All my support groups say I should be on all these supplements and not hydrocortisone. They all say they too have adrenal fatigue but none if them are on hydrocortisone. What is the difference between adrenal fatigue and Addisons?
