Hello and thanks for writing.

I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your fatigue may be related to combination of thyroid and vitamin d deficiency. I believe your are under treatment for both. Wait for your thyroid and vitamin d levels to normalise and you will definitely feel better.

As far as cortisone is concerned there is no direct interaction between the two. However they both are synergistic hormones. So some dose modification may be required if you start cortisone.
