Are u Hypothyroid with suppressed adrenals? Which meds first?

[Mitsy123]

I am hypothyroid and since having Cushing's Syndrome and a left adrenalectomy, I have no right adrenal output and have to take a Hydrocortisone replacement.

My question is do I take the Thyroxine meds first or the Hydrocortisone? I need both before I can feel well enough to function. Can I take them together? Please help, can't find any answers online and my GP and Endo have been less than helpful. Thank you.

I take 20mg three times a day:

6.30am. 10mg

11.30am 5mg

4.00pm. 5mg

Do you have Addisons?

Hi no severe adrenal fatigue due to having undiagnosed hypothyroidism for years, I have been on on cortisol for about three years and I havnt been able to wean off successfully so I think I will always need it.
