Is CFS stress-related?
Yes, this is most definitely the case in adrenal dysfunction and chronic stress almost universally accompanies a diagnosis of CFS. The adrenal gland is the primary mechanism through which we filter. The stress response or “fight or flight” response causes our physiology to change and like we are running from a tiger. When we activate this response chronically, we develop the symptoms of overuse of this response; the symptoms of adrenal dysfunction and CFS. The type of stress that causes symptoms can be physical, mental, emotional or environmental.
