ME / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Endocrine System Symptoms

The endocrine system is an integrated group of small organs that release and regulate hormones in our bodies. Researchers have discovered a number of endocrine abnormalities in ME/CFS patients, leading to symptoms such as:

• Low-grade fever or below average body temperature
  
  
• Heat and/or cold intolerance
  
  
• Weight gain or loss not related to changes in diet
  
  
• Alcohol intolerance
  
  
• Hot flashes or sweating episodes not related to menopause
