I have no experience with adrenal fatigue, but I do suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and understand how horrible it is when the doctor dismisses what you say or feel as 'silly' or 'normal' when it isn't.

The best advice I can offer you is to get a second and/or third opinion from other doctors. I changed from my family doctor (who had been my doctor since I was 5) to another doctor late last year because my family doctor didn't take me seriously. My new doctor is brilliant and actually discusses what I think and asks for my opinions then works through things with me.

I'd try another doctor, it's always good to have a second opinion anyway :)

Are you hyperglycaemic? Would the gp be prepared to do that special long test they do to find out?
