Like noted above, this lab presentation is totally incomplete! An AM Cortisol serum lab isn't going to give you a true picture .. Need 4x cortisol saliva kit w/ DHEA correlation, + ACTH. FT4 is the bottom 20% of it's reference range, and the TSH marker looks pretty good. This is WHY gauging the thyroid productivity based on TSH is a waste. You need Free T3, Free T3 (check), Reverse T3, TSH (Check) and Antibodies (TPO & TgAb).


I don't want to sound like a "basher", but when I see the labs you HAVE, and comments that the "Endo" thinks cortisol is "fine", I really don't have any faith that this guy has the ability to get you dialed in. FYI, morning cortisol should be at the very TOP of the reference range in the AM (85% - 95%), then more mid-range of the reference intervals throughout the 24 schedule.
