Why would my TSH suddenly increase?

[Guest guest]

Hello

My last blood test showed that my TSH level had gone from >0.01 to 10.6. I feel

terrible, which is unsurprising, and am seeing the GP tomorrow.

I can't tolerate more than 20mg of T3 and think that maybe I need to add

Fluorinef to the 30mg of cortef I'm currently taking each day.

I'm going to ask the GP to test my aldosterone, renin, sodium and potassium

levels.

Is there anything else I should do? I don't know why this has suddenly happened.

I do know that when I had my adrenal salivary profile done over a year ago, it

showed that I had almost complete adrenal exhaustion. I should probably have

held out for a short synacthen test, but none was forthcoming from the

" specialist " so I got going on the Cortef.

Does anyone know why my TSH level could have suddenly shot up? Or is there

anything else I should ask my GP? He's pretty good and running the tests I ask

for.

Thanks, Jane
