Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
Want to share this with you. You might find it intresting. Its a pamplet I picked up in my chiropractors office. The adrenal glands are located just above the top of your glutes.

Adrenal dysfunction may be a factor in many related conditions, including fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, premature menopause and others. It may also produce a host of other unpleasant symptoms, from acne to hair loss.
Do you remember hou you deserve to feel? In general, if you feel happy and well, have steady energy and emotions, sleep soundly 7-9 hours a night, wake up feeling rested, recover well from stress, and maintain a healthy weight without dieting, then your adrenals are probably doing well.
On the other hand, if you energy lags during the day, you feel emotionally unbalanced much of the time, you sleep poorly or less than 7 hours a night, can't lose excess weight even while dieting, use caffeine or carbohydrates as pick-me-ups --these are alll red flags indicating adrenal dysfunction.
In most cases youcan restore healthy adrenal function.
--------
They tested my adreanals and I have none because I have been in hight stress for so long. The adrenals need to time to restore inbetween fight and flight mode. My chiropractor started me on a vitamine supplement that would increase my adrenals.
Anyway, you might want to have yours checked. I will let you know how I do, on the supplement, in my journals.
Blessings,

In Teitelbaum's book, he discusses adrenal dysfunction in much the same way. I probably couldn't get my doc to test, though. Maybe I'll try.
Its an all natural food suplement. The product is put out by: Standard Process Inc. I haven't checked to see if this company is on the net or not. But its an excellent product. All foods, can't hurt you in anyway. Best wishes.
This chiropractor is unbelievable! He scanned my feet the other day and showed me how I should be distributing my weight verses how I am. He has done so many physical tests on me and I have found everything fascinating. He pops my neck and I don't even feel it. He is just really good.
He also said that most FM patients have adrenal Disfuntion, so I am sure it wouldn't hurt you. The main thing is if you have fatigue or chronic fatigue in the evenings then your most likely have this problem. And the supplement I told you about is an all Food product. So if you want to give it a try it will not hurt you at all or interfere with your meds in any way.
Best wishes.
