I received my thyroid, prolactin and progesterone results from medichecks today. Tested at 08.30, fasting, stopped b supps 1 week before, finger prick test. I asked for prolactin as I’d read somewhere that elevated levels could be an indicator of a pituitary problem and I’ve a suspicion this might be a problem for me. I also asked for progesterone as just over a year ago I had a low 24 hour cortisol result and I’ve been using progesterone to increase those levels. I’m feeling much better (got all vets & iron up to good levels) than I did a year ago but still have brain fuzz, painful joints and constipation, the crashing daily fatigue has mostly gone but eg a 2 hour dog walk will still leave me tired and fuzzy. Any help with these results would be very much appreciated.
