[Neenazee]

does boderline cortisol always means addisons? I have Hashimoto’s and i had a miscarriage recently after which i have had low bp issues, my Gp checked 9am cortisol which came back borderline 250 nmol/L?

im referred for synacthen test now and im so confused and anxious now

Welcome to the forum

Very sorry for you loss

what are your most recent thyroid and vitamin results

Thyroid and vitamin levels must be at optimal levels BEFORE conception

Was levothyroxine dose increased as soon as pregnancy was confirmed

Has dose now been reduced back

thankyou for replying,yes it was all in range. Really appreciate the links you have sent

[SlowDragon Administrator in reply to Neenazee]

Within range is not necessarily optimal

It would help if you gave actual results and ranges

Which brand of levothyroxine

What vitamin supplements

Etc
