Hello,
The hormonal balance you reported is conistent with secondary hypothyroidism and adrenal insuficiency propably due to a pituitary pathology.
Of course a detailed history and clinical evaluation is needed.
An ACTH stimulation test will be the next step to confirm adrenal insuficiency and cytomel dose should not be increased without correcting cortisol level.
A pituitary MRI will be suggested too.
