I find that steroids suppress my TSH.

Thank you, I had heard that steroids affected your thyroid in some way, but wasn’t sure in what way.
My GP did not believe that it was the steroids that suppressed the TSH the first time it happened but when it happened again, he accepted that the steroids were the cause. I now take Hydrocortisone three times a day as I have Adrenal Insufficiency but take T3 only so my TSH would be suppressed anyway.
