More advice please
Hi everyone, Further to my previous posts, I saw private Endo last week who won’t prescribe T3 until Short Synacthen test is done for borderline low cortisol of 248 and reverse t3 blood test done to confirm poor t3 conversion (???). I have been told today by his secretary (after arranging the tests

Confusing first results on T4/T3
Hi all, I'm reposting this as I didn't get any replies 😊 Please see my first results 6 weeks after introducing T3. I'm on 125mcg of levo and 10mcg of lio. I am very confused because I was certain that my current symptoms were due to being undermedicated! And how can my T4 be top of range again despite

Low 9am cortisol?
Hi all I wondered if anyone may have some advice regarding 9am cortisol please. My 9am blood cortisol has been tested a few times now and the last three tests have been 142nmol/L | 172nmol/L | 192nmol/L (I suspect the most recent one is higher due to having an extremely stressful time before it)

Low cortisol, low T3 results-pls advise, terrified I’ll have to stop work as just exhausted
hi.. I’m on levo 100mg for at least a year now, been diagnosed hypothyroid for 2 years I think. . Had these tests done privately dec 2023. Previous test a year before saw lower TSH - seemed to have climbed up, and higher T3 than before. I haven’t shown to GP yet- partly cos just depressed and exhausted

Adrenal tumour - anyone here with experience with it?
Hey everyone, My aldosterone levels are very elevated at 409 (range up to 190). I'm waiting for the adrenal MRI. My endo said he's suspecting adrenal adenoma since my ACTH was low, blood cortisol high, unable to raise thyroid meds or raising and having symptoms. Anyone here diagnosed with it or know

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

INSULIN TOLERANCE TEST - Low cortisol & chronic insomnia
I’m still battling to get to the bottom of my chronic insomnia. I have low cortisol, also oestrogen and testosterone (despite HRT) and DHEA. I’ve had a Short Synacthen Test, which I passed as most thyroid people do. So I now know the problem doesn’t lie with the adrenals. I presume it’s with the

An Interesting Three Weeks
Hi all, my apologies for not being being around recently but been a tad tied up. In short, around three weeks ago, I wasn't feeling as well as usual, I took my BS on a Monday morning as normal and it came back at 3.4mmol/L's, not a good start to the week. Got that sorted and it seemed to settle down

Transitioning from NDT to T3 (slowly) - anyone done this? Or combines NDT with t3?
Hello there, After many years unsuccessfully on Levo, then NDT, NDT+T4, I'm trying NDT and T3...and it's tricky. My timing might be incorrect, I take now 3 daily doses and I'm feeling overmedicated in the afternoon (tight chest, dizzy, weird energy, hunger, sweaty feet, blurry vision etc.). I take

Advise for next appointment please. New to Forum, Really Struggling with GP.
Hello everyone, Looking for advice I can have with my GP or Endo the next time I have an appointment, as I am getting nowhere and very slowly. Briefly - I started with symptoms in 2020-2021 and visit the Dr suggesting it was my thyroid. Initially (over the phone) they said probably menopause or stress
