TBG, Reverse T3 & SHBG Issues - What Does This Mean?
Greetings and happy July all. I have Hashi's confirmed by ultrasound and blood antibodies. I am not being treated as my family doctor and encrinologist say my blood work does not justify it.

Cortisol and ACTH low? I'm so confused now.
Hi all, I also have Primary Aldosteronism and no thyroid (goitres). I am back on T4 100mgs a day. I am meant to be on 10mcgs T3 also. I do not have any new thyroid hormones tested other than one than these on 14/5/19. I became under medicated because I couldn't raise the T3 I was on and hence back

Stem Cell Treatment
I just completed 5 days of
Acthar
steroid injections (mild form) at home this week, but didn’t help cut down on inflammation as expected. The nerve pain got so extreme last 2 days-felt like someone lit a torch all over my scalp or inside brain-not sure and down my spine. I was crying and crying.

Chronic chest pressure and depression, help??
Hi everyone, so basically I have been having many symptoms for 2 years now, the worst of them being anhedonia (namely severe loss of motivation), brain fog, and chest pressure/palpitations. I can hardly read or do anything without my chest feeling pressure/palpitations and am just generally much slower
