Im Hypo (Hashis) on 150mcg Levo 20 Mcg Liothyronine and convinced my adrenals are shot to bits. Awaiting a Synacthen test booked in for July (NHS) due to low cortisol blood test , but from reading on here I just know it will come back fine ? any suggestions as im still suffering quite bad even a month after T3?

I'd be interested in knowing more too. My doc has been treating it (dhea, adrenal support, good thyroid hormone replacement etc) but no dice. I also tried the circadian method and no improvement in symptoms. I can only have the adrenal bloods occasionally (no improvement there) but symptoms tell me I'm no better.

I did a saliva test with Genova, looked at where my levels were low and then took cortisone. 90 mins before a drop was due, so, where I saw my 1 pm level was low,I took the cortisone at. 11.30 am, and so on. I took cortisone for two years, gradually tapering off as I felt I needed to. It worked, results were fast and I would do it all again if I needed to. However, since getting on to the correct meds ( for me) My adrenals no longer have to compensate, so all my levels are fine.
