Suggest Remedy For Hormonal Problems

Hi, I have no thyroid after 2 surgeries. My face turned red and the skin on my thighs turned very bumpy when I started to have problems in 1988. Right now my body is not making cortisol, estrogen, progesterone or testosterone. Are there other test I nee to do to get the whole picture?

Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Yes, there are some test you can do to see the function of the whole pituitary axes;
- ACTH and cortisol level at 8 a..m
- Estradiol, progresteron and FSH level
- Ft4 and Ft3
If you are male you can check testostetone and shbg level too.
Will be a pleasure to help you further after the above mentioned results.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
