Blood and Saliva Test Results

[mischa]

I have recently increased my thyroid meds and have noticed a return of hypo symptoms. Drier skin, eyelash loss and hair loss.

TSH: 0.01 (0.27 - 4.20) FT4: 17.9 (12.00 - 22.00) FT3: 5.2 (4.00 - 6.80)

My cortisol saliva test:

Sample 1: 16.49 (7.45 - 32.56)

Sample 2: 68.72H (2.76 - 11.31)

Sample 3: 2.26 (1.38 - 7.45)

Sample 4: 0.91 (0.83 - 3.86)

Sum of Cortisol: 88.4

DHEA : Sample 1 0.31 (0.25 - 2.22)

Sample 2 0.11 (0.25 - 2.22)

Could some one help with an explanation as to why I'm getting more hypo on increasing meds. My cortisol is very high on sample 2.

Thank you

Thats the same problem im getting but with insomnia and puffy under the eyes they just increased mine three or four months ago now I'm thinking maybe I am over medicated or im low in vitamin D

Many thanks Sandy12.

Yes, when I increased my T4 my T3 dropped from 5.4 to 5.2. I will increase it.
