> > > In my research on adrenal fatigue, I have read more than once that autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto's Disease can be triggered by adrenal fatigue. Also, one of the symptoms of adrenal fatigue is unexplained pain. Therefore, without knowing any of the other facts here, I would question if the "subset of patients" referred to by Dr. Lowe might actually have adrenal fatigue. Hmmm...

It probably happens as treating the hypothyroidism means your metabolism kicks in..but your adrenals..which are already struggling with a slowed down system have to step up function ..and they can't
Other thing to check and treat first is your ferritin levels...similar reasoning probably.Jan (who experienced both)
