I have had symptoms of being hypothyroid for years but haven't gotten a doctor to help yet. Got as far as an endocrinologist one time but was promptly booted from her office for looking too healthy with "normal blood work" despite symptoms. However, I am facing a new challenge that has me concerned. I know adrenal fatigue goes hand in hand with being hypo so I hope I'm posting this in the right spot?

In the past few months, I have faced some major traumatic life events and had the crazy idea to try getting healthy with getting back into exercising. Well, despite being consistent with exercise for around a month, I was only gaining weight not loosing and feeling worse and worse until my body quit one day. For about the past week since then, I seem to have spiraled into what looks like some sort of adrenal crash and I don't know what to do. I can look back now and see it was coming for the last few months of extreme stress but I think the physical stress of the exercise pushed me over the edge.

I'm not in communication with my PCP since she was no help with the hypo and am looking for a new doctor, but I don't know if I need medical care right now and should go back to my old PCP in the mean time? I get nearly all the classic symptoms of adrenal fatigue that's a good ways along so I slowed things way, way down (canceling events, lots of rest) but I'm scared for my wellbeing and don't know what to tell people (like my employers) beside "I feel sick." I don't feel like I'm getting better very quickly and don't know what I'm supposed to being doing really. Help???
