Hi, I tested my cortisol and DHEA because I am concerned I might have addisons in addition to hashis and I wanted to check my theory before asking my gp to investigate.
I got my results back today (attached)
My DHEA and cortisol are low so I think it’s reasonable for me to ask if I can be tested.
Could anyone who is knowledgeable about DHEA and cortisol, suggest any other questions i should ask my gp about these results? For example should I be thinking about any other things in addition to addisons?

My results from jan this year are in the photo below. My Levo was increased to 75mcg and then we tested it again in July and TSH went down to 1.2 range (0.27-4.2). I didn’t get an updated freeT3 and T4. I tested around 9am before eating and before taking Levo.
I wasn’t getting the same brand until 3 months ago when I realised that it was causing me issues. Now I always request (and get) mercury pharma.
From your comments it sounds like I should ask for T3 test again, and perhaps need a further increase in Levo.
