[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2470581, member: 507802"] Hi It’s such a difficult balancing act, I wonder if other hormones that control your metabolism are out? Cortisol and thyroxine. Have you had these checked? It’s easy for medication to effect these. Hashimotos disease is an autoimmune disease as is Type 1 LADA so it may be worth asking for the TPO antibody test as well as bog standard TSH blood test for your thyroid and I would be asking for cortisol blood test too. Don’t give up, ask the doctor, you are working hard so if no luck with the doctor ask to see an endocrinologist. They are doing phone appointments in my area. [/QUOTE]
