Am I hypothyroid?

I just got my morning cortisol lab back. I didn't really sleep well so I imagine that could affect the results. I was at 29.7. I guess that's high. I don't know how high though. The nurse said 22 was the upper limit. I will see her(endo) on Thursday.

Am I hypothyroid?

Ok. I just don’t want to do anything until I see what kind of help I’m going to get. Are they actually going to manipulate my thyroid numbers? At this point I’m undiagnosed except for maybe i should be on anti depressants. If they do mess with t3 and 4, what do you mean?

Am I hypothyroid?

I have an appointment with endo on Thursday finally. I just had a blood draw for cortisol the other morning so that we’d have results for appointment. Don’t have results yet. Do you have any idea what she is thinking by checking this with my symptoms and thyroid numbers?

Thanks guys. I have a list of thyroid specialists within an hour of me. Got it from a guy on Medhelp. The two I talked to seem to really understand. Could probably get diagnosed immediately. I’ll see my endo next week and go from there. Hopefully he’ll understand too. My T4 has been...
