I definitely still insist you follow what I outlined in my previous post, however to clarify-
You will best be able to understand the over all concept of what has happened to you if you read Dr. Larry Wilson's site and read a good number of his articles about adrenal fatigue.
His site is so important because it is not the usual jargony mumbojumbo and technical medical literature or 87 derivations of some protocol. What he has done is really looked at a very outside of the box way of approaching and understand human disease outside of just a western OR an eastern perspective.
Most of my core beliefs about medicine, disease, and the human body are based on Larry Wilson.
