Symptoms include severe fatigue, sweats, muscle aches n pains, spots on shoulders, no energy, weightgain, heart palps, depression, generally feeling unwell constantly, swollen lymph nodes and neck pain

Results I have are:-
TSH 0.90 (0.35-5)
FT4 8.2 (7-20)
Cortisol (suppressed with 10mg dexamethasone) at 9am 28 (140-700)

Thank you so much for your reply x

Do you have any ranges to go with that result?

And you might also want to check out the adrenal site.

Any symptoms going along with this?
