Adrenal Fatigue is surprisingly common in Hypothyroidism (one more thing  
that they forgot to teach me in Medical School). Hallmark of the combination is  
that the thyroid replacement either doesn't work at all, or there are thyroid  
overdose symptoms on a very low dose of thyroid replacement. 
 
I started treating with Hydrocortisone, 5-10 mg. three times a day after  
meals. Later, I learned about Adrenal Extract which (Adrenal Fatigue) Wilson  
strongly endorses.
 
IMHO (in my humble opinion), Hydrocortisone works a lot faster and is more  
effective for most people; but the Adrenal Extract really contributes to  
adrenal recovery.
 
At the A4M (American Academy of Anti Aging Medicine) conference in Chicago  3 
weeks ago, I got to meet Jacob Teitelbaum, MD. ("From Fatigued to  
Fantastic") He formulated "End Fatigue Revitalizing Sleep  Formula" which he strongly 
recommends. I have started using it for my  patients, and I'll let everyone know 
how it works.
 
Teitelbaum has also become a strong advocate of ribose for  all his Chronic 
Fatigue patients. I started a  Hypothyroid-Adrenal Fatigue patient on that 
because the other measures  still left her very fatigued.  Ribose forms part of 
the "backbone" of DNA  and RNA, as well as forming an important part of ATP (The 
major energy currency  of cells.) Again, I'll keep the Group posted. 
 
The most impressive (to me) thing that Wilson said was, "Hydrocortisone is  
NOT the cure for adrenal fatigue. Changing your life is the cure for Adrenal  
Fatigue."
 
Basically, he seemed to feel that the hydrocortisone would just buy time  for 
the Adrenals to heal themselves. I guess that's the best that good Medical  
care can do for anything.
