Adrenal and thyroid issues: anyone else dealing with this?

Hey there!

So—I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to get my adrenal glands checked out...
Basically, I’ve been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and on top of that, I’m constantly dealing with these recurring urinary tract infections. From everything I’ve read online (not that I’m a doctor or anything...), it feels like these two things might actually be linked by some underlying issue with my adrenal glands... So, I really want to take the initiative and run some tests to see if that's what's going on. My big questions are: where should I go to get this done (like, through my regular primary care doctor or at a private clinic?), and what specific tests should I even be asking for regarding adrenal hormones to cover all my bases...

Thanks so much to anyone who takes the time to help me out with this... 🙂

My mother dealt with some very similar issues, so she ended up going through a series of tests for her adrenal glands. She went through the endocrinology department at Mayo Clinic after getting a referral, and I’d suggest you take that same route—just tell your primary care doctor about your symptoms and ask them to refer you to an endocrinologist.
