Hi, I'm due to see my consultant endocrinologist tomorrow and I just wanted to get some opinions on my blood test results. Still waiting on FT3. 27 y/o female and currently on 100mcg Levothyroxine (auto immune thyroiditis). Diet is completely free of dairy and gluten but other than that it's balanced

Comprehensive thyroid blood tests - ADVICE
Hello, I'm due to have some blood tests this Friday and I would like some advice on what to get, aside from the generic thyroid blood test. The nurses at my GP practice will do whatever test I ask for so please let me know your recommendations. I am hypothyroid and currently take 100mcg levothyroxine

Cortisol saliva results
Hi i'm feeling very confused. I have hashi's controlled on 100mcg t4 and 5mcg t3. My last AM bloods showed slightly raised cortisol 616 (113-456) very raised prolactin 1627 (102-496) But just got these saliva results back and my AM cortisol is normal but then low from noon onwards. DHEA towards top end

He’s now had two abnormally high prolactin levels and private endocrinologist is writing

Test results
Today I received the results of a blood test that I took a few days ago, I did it mostly to try to ease a little the anxiety that I have, thinking that I am sick and avoid becoming a hypochondriac. The results were all good, everything is in range, except for some vitamin values that are a bit low,

Bromocriptine for high prolactin
Hi, Just wondering if anybody has experience of using Bromocriptine for high prolactin levels? I have just started taking the tablets and have experienced a few side effects (drowsiness/diziness and feeling sick). I'm hoping these will subside. I'm not sure how long it takes for levels to reduce once

Prolactin
Since PCa is heterogenous, does it make sense to decrease prolactin in androgen sensitive PCa? And, to keep the cancer from becoming resistant to this, should the low prolactin therapy be cycled? https://europepmc.org/article/PMC/6641560
