Always researching to understand how things work and the causes I came across this video. It explains simply (with american humour :/ ) how to help ourselves to eliminate Adrenal Fatigue...BUT he starts with T3, T4 and why they are named this. I didn't know. Iodine.

Then touches on so many other symptoms; Stress, damaged immune system, eating MSG, CORTISOL very interesting! ESTROGEN (my GPs don't know this and I have said it for years), fresh foods and the benefits, LEAKY GUT/ CANDIDA Soya products, a STRESSED THYROID, Reducing the inflammation in our bodies.
A very simplistic view which has helped me to refocus, I don't want to reply on synthetic meds and don't like taking it, I can't prove that it may even be causing some on my symptoms. Though I know I'm still not well. Seriously looking to take more of a control over my health.
He tells us to ask the GP when they prescribe something... 'but what's broken?' and get an explanation of how to fix it NOT to just prescribe for the symptom - if he can't then don't go ahead. He's not doing his job and you're possibly being fobbed off. [my personal view from experience].
He focuses on what the CAUSE is; something I strongly believe in!
e.g. So if you are prescribed anti depressants, ask how he/you can fix it? rather than take the drugs.
