interpreting thyroid tests but still can't

seem to figure out how to interpret my own. Here are my results

TSH 45 normal range for norm: 26-85nlU/ml

ft4 .16 low range for norm: .17-.42 ng/dl

ft3 .49 normal range for norm: .28-1.10 pg/ml

TPO Thyroid Microsomal Ab, SIgA positive

So I get that I have hashi's and perhaps hypo but i consulted the

thyroid specialist Dr.Shames and he said it was strange that my t4 was

low he said he doesn't typically see this pattern.????? So anyway

months after my consultation w/ him I've only got up to 1 grain of

naturthroid b/c of sensitivity and adrenal crash. My current doc feels

I should move up to 1.5 grain. I have to say that even w/ the small

amount of meds this has been the warmest winter in 10 years and my

eyebrows and

hair which were fine have gotten thicker.

I have stage 5 adrenal fatigue took glandulars and isocort for months

not enough so my doc prescribed me 5 mg of cortf but said he wont give

me anymore than that. So I do 2.5 in am 2.5 at noon and then 2-3

glandulars in the afternoon. After all this still feel tired, weak

muscles and like Im dragging through life although some things have

improved, skin, hair, temp.....

I cant tell if I'm not taking enough meds in general because I am also

sick recovering from glandular fever. Its very confusing since i'm

prone to infections and in addition have the endocrine imbalances-

many layers of stuff and its hard to tell what's what.

Any suggestion or info would be greatly appreciated as I feel like i'm

ready to pull my hair out from years of frustration trying to figure

this out feel literally exhausted at age 29.

I took adrenal stress end by integrative therapeutics - it definately

gave me a boost but doesn't seem to support me like HC especially when

increasing thyroid meds.
