Many symptoms of hypothyroidism overlap with symptoms of underactive adrenals. The patient begins to feel crazy… but that’s when another layer of the complex pathology of Hashimoto’s becomes unraveled. At this point, they will likely go back to their physicians to check blood work, and will be told that everything is normal. Patients may initially report feeling more energetic after starting thyroid hormones, but this is usually followed by feeling worse and worse… until they are right back to where they were before they started the thyroid medications. Treating hypothyroidism without treating the adrenals, is one of the biggest reasons people continue to feel exhausted despite receiving treatment with thyroid hormones. While the thyroid plays a crucial role in these symptoms and our well-being, there’s another link that’s often underestimated: the adrenal glands. Those of us with Hashimoto’s often blame our thyroid for the many signs and symptoms we experience.
