Could you repost these together with the lab ranges please as that

will let us help you more.

You look like you have low adrenals and low thyroid which would not be

treatable with just T4 but the ranges will make it easier.

I don't know anything about the cortisol allergy tests but hopefully

Val can help there

OK wiht RT3 as bad as yours is I woudl cut the levoxyl in HALF til you

can raise your ferritin. I woul dneed oyur lab ranges for the cortils to

reAlly say how bad or not adrenals are. And your Doctor is full of HOOEY

about the cortisol allergy. There is NO SUCH thing and it si impossible

to BE allergic to a hormone. You cannto live ONE SECOND withotu cortisol

in your body you cannto be allergic to it. SO I am not sure what she is

pulling here btu some clarification would be needed. You need IRON

immediately I would start with 100mg daily in two doses and raise in a

week to double that as ferritin is pretty hard to raise, unless you can

talk your doctor in to aj Iron IV which is by far the easiest way to

raise it.
