Adrenal fatigue affecting many runners, even me!

Hi am new to blogging and have many questions for the world! I am currently a runner and have been set back a little due to what i think is adrenal fatigue. Here is my story.
For the past year or so I have been suffering symptoms that lead me to believe I have adrenal fatigue. About two years ago I noticed that my legs/ankles were a little puffy and red after running. I am a runner and I thought that it was kind of strange. I ignored it for a little more than a year and then it suddenly spread to my whole body about five months ago. I woke up swollen everywhere. Ever since then I have had hot flashes where I will be sitting tin class and out of o where my body feels like it’s on fire and I sweat a ton. I also feel tired all the time and am not able to run anymore. Any type of working out makes the symptoms worse. I have been to the doctor so many times and am told that I am perfect. I know I am not perfect. They have done every test in the world. I recently went to a homeopathic doctor that told me I have adrenal fatigue. I was given herbs and things to take and have been eating a perfect diet; only fruits and vegetables, no dairy or gluten or sugar. I don't know what to do anymore so if anyone has any ideas of what it could be that would be a great help to me.
