Possible relations to Addison's Disease
It has been proposed by some specialists that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a form of Addison's disease (referred to as adrenal insufficiency or hypoadrenalism). The following evidence has been presented (Jefferies 1994; Baschetti 1999; Jeffcoate 1999; Baschetti 2000): 'In view of the 36 features shared by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Addison’s disease, including hypocortisolism and a host of neuropsychological complaintsCite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page). and investigations of the effects of hydrocortisone plus fludrocortisone in the treatment of CFS’ [1][2][3][4][5][6]Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
[7]
• Many of the symptoms of CFS overlap those of Addison's disease (adrenal failure). • Improvement in CFS patients has occurred after supplementation with mineralocorticoids (fludrocortisone), low-dose hydrocortisone (cortisol).
