You have problem gaining weight?
I have hashimotos n developed hypothyroidism. The symptom is weight gain but mine is opposite. I have no idea but I am on levothyroxine.
No i have hashimotos and hypothyroidism and im tired every day so thats why i probably have secondary adrenal insufficiency idk if i do but my medication is not helping my tiredness thats why i think the thyroid has nothing to do with it now idk

1 ReactionWhichever doctor ordered your blood work can also explain it to you better since they are familiar with your medical history and current symptoms. An AI app can interpret blood work and help you ask the right questions, but it's no substitute for your doctor.

A cortisol test for suspected low cortisol levels should be performed early in the morning.
The correct test for adrenal insufficiency is an ACTH stimulation test, which should be ordered by an endocrinologist.
