Has anyone had a change in thyroid function after prednisolone?

[regsmum]

I am hypo-thyroidal and on levothyroxine. My last check was back in February at the same time as my ITP diagnosis, and was fine. My GP is now sending me for a blood test to check THA levels as he says steroids can affect the thyroid (along with everything else!) Anyone else had any experience of this?

Hi Regsmum. Steroids are really only suitable for a short time and they can affect all sorts of things in different people. See what happens with your count for the thyroid and then you can make an informed decisions. I know where you live, but where are you being treated for your ITP is it Wrexham?

Thanks for answer sailor. I am really suffering with fatigue at the moment and am hoping it can be fixed with an increase in thyroxine. Fingers crossed.

I am being treated at Glan Clwyd, but the consultant I was assigned to retired the next week so I have seen a few different hematologists. Are you at Wrexham?
