elevated TSH and elevated T4

by kasielee, Nov 13, 2008 06:09PM

I have not had my thyroid removed. I have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and hyperthyroidism. My last lab results came back with and elevated TSH and an elevated T4. I have not been put on any thyroid meds yet because my cortisol levels have been low and my docotor has had me on hydrocortisone to try to elevate my cortisol levels. Has anyone had this trouble and if so how was it treated?
