This guy seems crazy. There's a million things they can give you for energy so you don't lay in bed all day. Also, the hell is he choosing to lay in bed over sitting in a nice comfy chair? The only reason bedridden people are in beds is to make it easy to roll them over and hook them up to machines. This guy didn't need either. It doesn't take a decade to discover adrenal gland issues, I think this guy is a basket case.

Are you sure you read that properly? Maybe it is not clear from the text, but basically adrenal gland malfunction which result in hyperproduction of adrenaline literally burn you up.

Hormone disbalance in general can mess you up seriously. I have a female friend which had all sorts of health issues. Bringing hormone levels under control (not hormones themselves but the causes) helped her become a new person and liven up. She might even consider having kids now. She is still under all sorts of therapies, but it is not trivial to relate causes and effects, her case not being even remotely mistic. Imagine when the direct cause is a rarely problematic hormone, provoked by an even more obscure issue.

Not sure if you have ever fallen ill and had fever. That thing will make you want to lie on the bed.
