2 stone weight gain on levothyroxine. Please help me with blood test results
Hi everyone, I posted on here in Summer as I've been really struggling with my symptoms. Since then I have eventually been able to see an endocrinologist and he allowed me to get my blood tested- he said my T3 and other relevant things would be tested but after looking at the results which I picked up

Endocrinologist appointment
O.K, I'm not sure if going to the Endocrinologist was a good idea...it has left me with more questions than answers and a 'Massive' invoice to boot. Aside from cost, she took a look at my medichecks report, after I made it VERY CLEAR that I came off my T4 for a number of weeks beforehand. She wanted

Hoshimotos, low wbc, and low cortisol
Hello, I am 34 fairly healthy female. I have hoshimotos and recently switched to a new endocrinologist because i felt my regular doctor was not helping me get better. The main complete was that I am always tired and gained some weight. I am a school teacher but my tired lately seems even more. Anyway

SST test for low cortisol whilst on TRANSDERMAL HRT/oestrogen gel (i.e. not oral hrt)
I believe that taking oral oestrogen interferes with serum cortisol levels (I think it increases it) due to increasing cortisol binding globulin. (I know that for SHBG, transdermal doesn't affect it but oral does) I have been taking transdermal oestrogen gel - I believe that this may not have the same

What now? How to get on with my life?
I was put on
Levlen
(the pill) before my lap in hopes it would help. I take it back to back not taking the white pills, so I don't have a period for months at a time.

Cortisol results
Endo has run a pretty comprehensive set of tests including a serum cortisol test for the first time ever for me. It has come back marginally low at 397 nmol/L. The result sheet says "adrenal insufficiency is unlikely if >430 nmol/L." Test was taken fasting at 9am, and I don't take any medication other

Self medicating and really struggling.
Hi I’m absolutely fed up, exhausted of feeling so dreadful. I take one step forward and five back. At the moment I can’t see an end to this thyroid journey. I don’t know what to do next, or who to turn too. Brief history, you’ve heard it before, diagnosed with Hashimoto’s by a private Endocrinologist

Combination therapy
I'm a mess! Low cortisol & my thyroid is way out of whack. I've been taking 45mg mirtazapine & 50mg trazodone since 2003 to control depression, anxiety/panic, and insomnia. They've stopped working! While I'm getting my endocrine issues resolved, does anyone think it might be effective to add parxetine
