There are 2 schools of thought. Those who believe in having this disorder even in the face of negative blood markers, and no real markers other than a "belief" and those who say its all a bunch of hooey, and if you had such an issue the blood tests would reveal it.

You will find many who push the adrenal stress factor are also selling a bunch of products that will "cure you" of many things from thyroid issues, to hidden cancer cells.

I dont know if this is a real disease, or something that is an easily manipulated set of symptoms in an effort to sell stuff, but I know the internet is crammed full of folks selling you products to "cure it"

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-adrenal-stress.htm (what is adrenal stress) this site speaks of it.

MS is a very difficult disease to diagnose, and isnt done so lightly. Are there folks who get mis diagnosed? yep! you betcha. Some of have been given the MS lable, and it turns out that the Lyme test wasnt accurate, or the Lupus markers were just in normal range for six months, and then went whacko. Most MS MDs are very careful about a full investigation before handing out such labels. its a devestating disease once written down on paper. It prevents you from getting proper insurances, and life insurances and can cause you to lose jobs, friends, and advantages that will be passed to others that are less risky.

Were you diagnosed quickly? Did they do the standard battery of MRIs? Spinal tap? full blood panels to rule out the 100s of other stuff first? I LOVE LOVE LOVE my chiro practor, but my neuro spent about a dozen more years in school, and was careful to search for other markers before laying this one on me. If your Thyroid levels are normal. your cortisol levels are normal, and your other markers were normal, your neuro would have already ruled out "adrenal stress" There is a reason folks live on Limbo island for so many years till more positive proof can be provided of an MS dx.

That being said, It wont hurt you to try the products and routines and see if you feel any better. PLEASE READ THE LABELS! some products are nothing more than a hyped up orange juice or seaweed. As long as you can afford the products, and are willing to take the chance...go for it! I have gotten such great relief from my chiropractor, and would be so lost without her. I am a huge advocate of complimentary medicines. Like trying a gluten free diet, it cant hurt to try it, and if it works YEA! and if not, you will know you tried.
