My guess is that my adrenal glands did indeed go out of whack, producing a crazy adrenalin overload that was completely arbitrary and in response to nothing. Well, nothing except three years of arbitrary overtraining.

The adrenalin overload calmed down, and then I got really tired. That was two and a half weeks ago. I'm slowly getting better, though I still get tired easily.
