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.
