List members,
Was just told that my thyroid binding globulins are low.  Endo says, that
could be because I take steroids for Addison's Disease.  

Some questions I have--
How do steroids, replacement level or thereabouts, affect TBG?  
Does low TBG indicate usually a need for a little T3 replacement as well as
the T4?

I also have low SHBG.  How do TBG and sex hormone binding globulin interact,
if they do?
So many questions!
Thanks
Holly
