Next frustrating step

I don’t have Cushings.
Endo wants to send me back to GP with whom I’ve gotten nowhere with.
I suggested to my endo since my TSH is rising(1.4 to 3.02 since feeling terrible)and T4 is below range and T3 is barely in range that I should try a round of hypothyroid treatments . I told her my numbers and symptoms seem hypothyroid to me.
I asked for a trial of thyroid medication and see what happens. She said that would be irresponsible and I should check for autoimmune stuff like MS and lupus.
To me, her response seems irresponsible. I don’t see the problem in at least trying something especially when I have the numbers and symptoms.
Am i wrong or missing something?
I’ve heard this happens all the time to people. Why?
 
Your take on the situation is absolutely correct, a trial of thyroid would certainly be worth a try and is very safe.

You need to find another doctor or you can buy some Thyrovanz or Thyroid-S
 
Thank you. I’m not that smart but it what’s the problem in trying something safe and my numbers and symptoms indicate hypothyroidism.
I did make an appointment with a specialist that someone off of medhelp.com brought to my attention.
I’m going for hypothyroid diagnosis and maybe and hopefully that’s my deal. Smarter people than me such as Ratbag have indicated to me that I need to be diagnosed and treated.
These traditional doctors are probably not helping many people because they are so stuck in their ways it seems. My endo wants me to see a rheumatologist for stuff like MS and lupus. That shit is serious and why not try a hypothyroid treatment especially when that has a decent chance in being my solution
Thanks for your support.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
