Should I increase my Thyroid hormones or work on my Adrenals?

These are my blood labs for the past year. You can see on the notes what dosage I was on NDT (WP Thyroid). I still have lots of symptoms that I'm not sure if is due to my Adrenals or Thyroid. Note that I am a kidney donor with possible impairment to my left adrenal gland during surgery. I also did a 4-point saliva test (results below).

Should I increase my thyroid meds slightly or work on my adrenals? My thyroid levels are still not within their optimal ranges. Thank you!

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.
