Thyroid - Am I overdosed or Underdosed?

That's the plan. I forgot to say I started the cortisone last night and continued today that's why I resumed the thyroid meds

I don't think this is possible because if you read all the adrenal sites and how everyone gets treated they say that you can go on cortisol full time and they claim it allows your adrenals to heal (should they be weakened and not a HPTA problem) and that you just ween yourself off it and your own adrenals take over just as they were before. Also keep in mind a lot of sick people live on huge amounts of hydrocortisone and it doesn't affect you. So I would say the answer to your question is no, taking it here and there would not have compromised your system.

Are you absolutely sure your thyroid labs are good because low thyroid can cause skin problems and allergies etc. I had psoriasis and once my thyroid got treated effectively it went away and so did all my allergies. Originally my endo claimed my thyroid was fine yet when I got hooked up with a HRT specialists he said my FT3 was lowish and if I raised it that it could help a lot of my symptoms. He was so right and that when I learned mainstream medicine's endo's were not helpful.

No, I am not 100% sure. I've only had FSH pulled. Its been anywhere from 1.03 to 1.45 though. I'm currently waiting on insurance to clear my sleep study, I really hope they find the cause of my fatigue. I never used to be this way, it all started around the same time. the loss of morning erections, loss of libido, fatigue, bad eczema, brain fog, and a few other things. With TRT all that really remains is the here today gone tomorrow libido and fatigue. I do know my mother has to take some thyroid pill every day, I keep asking her what the official diagnoses was but she dont really remember. Dr Saya says until we figure out the apena thing, all bets are off the table. I am worried I wont have apnea and it will be back to the drawing board. All this began around 2013 for me when I got a job that was 6 days a week for 2 years straight.
