Is your problem your adrenals or your thyroid or both? Adrenal and thyroid problems can mimic one another and make diagnosing the problem very difficult. I've seen patients believe that their primary problem is their adrenals when it's their thyroid and vice versa.

In most cases, it's BOTH issues at the same time and treating one will NOT fix the other. You must treat BOTH your thyroid and your adrenals if you want to feel better.

There is a strong connection between your adrenal glands and your thyroid gland. Those people who have low thyroid function, otherwise known as hypothyroidism, tend to ALSO have problems with their adrenal functions or adrenal fatigue.

The problem is that there is a big overlap in the symptoms seen in both adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism such that it can be hard to tease out the difference between the two.

Learn more about the symptoms between these conditions, how to determine if your symptoms are related to your thyroid or your adrenals or both, and how to test for adrenal problems.

This connection is so strong that I recommend all thyroid patients treat their adrenal glands.
