Hi Anon,

The exact cause of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is unknown. Some theories suggest CFS may be due to:

Epstein-Barr virus or human herpes virus-6 (HHV-6); however, no specific virus has been identified as the cause

Inflammation in the nervous system, because of a faulty immune system response

The following may also play a role in the development of CFS:

Your age

Previous illnesses

Stress

Genetics

Environmental factors

As far as adrenal glands, an underactive adrenal gland is a result of Addison's disease and an overactive adrenal gland could be Cushing's syndrome.
