Hello,

This appears to me as Polyendocrine deficiency syndrome involving the Adrenals and the thyroid glands.

Even now your TSH is very high and you may need a dose escalation of thyroxine.

The is adrenal insufficiency or Addison's disease.

All this conditions are due to autoimmune conditions and the treatment is to replace the hormones.
