thyroid

i suspect secondary hypothyroidism. bit my gp will not treat me for it. despite all the symptoms.could it be because he treats me for adrenal failure which has similar symptoms.
i had to go privately for blood tests.

he just says i am within the range. in uk its very difficult to get anything done if tsh levil is ok and mine is.
i had churge straus syndrome  and was treated for a lomg time on high dose steriods. then when initial flare up was controlled i had adrenal burnout and was put on a maintenance dose. i devolped asthma . no sign of anyone in family having asthma.. i had high prolactin 6 years previous to this.it was treat with bromocryptine for a while then everything was fine..i think that was because the baby was very big.i  am 64 now. this happened when i was about 30

What reason does your doctor give for not treating your thyroid? Your FT levels are way too low on the ranges...

What adrenal condition are you being treated for?  Secondary hypothyroidism is a pituitary issue and pituitary issues can affect more than one part of the endocrine system... Each affected gland must be treated...
