Steroid inhaler for COPD with Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. Effects?

[DandyButch]

Hi all, just been reading through some recent posts which included references to steroid use and thyroid blood test results. I don't know if this has any relevance to me and my current extremely slow recovery.I keep trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Can anyone help please? Or am I going down the wrong road?

Thankyou in advance.

Steroid use and low GFR both Good reason to push for next increase in dose T3

Did you get 5mcg dose increase in T3 after last post

Or did you add any levothyroxine?

No levothyroxine, no extra liothyronine . I've been on 20mcg x 2 daily liothyronine since before Xmas. Endocrinologist will not increase liothyronine due to low TSH.

However, Endocrinologist is liaising with psychiatry dept via my GP to see about increasing T3 for mental health reasons. That is the only way she will enable an increase. My GP has sent all correspondence to Endocrinologist, so am waiting for an appointment. My next official appointment is in September, so a long wait. My last appointment was March 2024.

Waiting........
