Glenn Beck?s dramatic revelation: He?s been hiding a mysterious brain illness

Doctors told him his immune system was seeing his adrenaline as an infection and attacking it.  He would not put a name to the autoimmune disease, but I am wondering if it is Addison?s Disease.  Also, was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue.

The way I read this is that it is a much more specific AI issue. Body is attacking the adrenalin--not the adrenal gland. Sounds like this doc is a maverick that really thinks outside the box/ This was very interesting as Glenn is such a hyper guy and having the adrenalin specifically attacked could really cause some very specific symptoms.

I am waiting to hear remarks about this being a "hoax" and I think people need to take a deep breath and just wait it out. This doc may have a corner on some of the more out of the box disease issues. Irish
