Hello doctor,
I am a 38-year-old male. I have been struggling with fatigue for two months. I have never been like this before. I am a very active person. But, of late, there has been a lot of stress. I had started some multivitamins. After ruling out lots of possibilities, the doctor suggested it could possibly be adrenal fatigue. The symptoms seemed to fit the diagnosis. I did a few tests and got the results today. Saliva cortisol: 8 a.m. 0.97 (normal being between 0.61 and 1.31), 12 p.m. 0.50 (normal being between 0.26 and 0.75), 4 p.m. 0.16 (normal being between 0.13 and 0.51), 8 p.m. 0.14 (normal being between 0.08 to 0.40), DHEA 916 l (normal being between 436 and 1014), and TSH 3.69 (normal being between 0.60 and 2.49), mildly elevated. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you doctor,
The ALT was mildly elevated at 38. All other liver tests were normal. I am on no medication except Zyrtec p.r.n. My HbA1c was 5.9 and fasting glucose was 86. My insulin was slightly high at 17(normal being between 4 to 9). I am an athletic. But, I have not been able to work out for a few months because of the plantar fasciitis. There is no family history of diabetes. No ESR was performed, but CRP was 0.7 (normal being <1). There are no other real symptoms. But, I do have to eat every two hours or so else my energy crashes. When this problem initially started, the fatigue was worse in the morning, and by evening, I felt pretty good. I started taking some proactive supplements of multivitamin, magnesium, and B12 about a month ago, and that has helped me a little. The energy is pretty even throughout the day now.
