Does Toft look st adrenal issues as well as thyroid?

[t3rcam]

My daughter is really struggling and we are trying to get answers. Private blood tests show that she has a thyroid problem (according to the doctor who assessed them) which needs T 3. Saliva cortisol says adrenal but NHS didn’t tell her that oestrogen elevates cortisol & that testing should be fasting. Her ACTH taken between 11am & 12 is 15.6 range 10-50. Can she treat her thyroid on the basis that NHS says her adrenals are fine despite having all the symptoms & thyroid symptoms.

I know of one doctor who insisted that adrenals be sorted out before prescribing and another who said the adrenals sort themselves out when prescribed. I'm sorry it is confusing.

If you post her results with the ranges members will respond upon them. There are some very expert people on this forum, through learning the hard way that there is a way to recover our health.
