There are definitely some parts of your story that sound very much like adrenal fatigue.
1. Feeling sleepy in the mornings and ‘wired’ at night. This could be caused by a dysregulated cortisol cycle. http://adrenalfatiguesolution.com/cortisol-levels-change-throughout-day/
2. Feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with stress. This can happen when your body becomes unable to produce stress hormones when you need them.
Do you find yourself drinking more and more coffee to get through the day? Cravings for sweet or salty food? These are classic symptoms too.
Fawne has added lots and lots of advice to this website. And the ebook that she wrote with Dr Eric includes even more. Its not about changing one thing – you need to look at all aspects of your diet, lifestyle, and the way that you handle stress.
I hope this helps a bit! Let me know if you have any more questions 🙂
I forgot to mention a couple of things..
You mention that you have had some blood tests, but have you done the 24 hour salivary cortisol test? That’s your best bet to find out if your cortisol cycle is dysregulated.
As for the best doctor to see, you should look for a functional or integrative doctor.
