Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I read carefully your concern and understood your query.
The treatment with steroids for many years of course has many side effects and one of these is iatrogjenic Cushing syndrome that is manifested with wait gain, high blood pressure, high glucose levels, osteoporisis ect.
Normally you should be under close medical supervision in order to diagnose and treat these side effects and modify the dose of prednisone if possible.
Regarding to the thyroid, it is not supposed to cause side effects as long as the dose of the synthroid is correct and the thyroid hormonal level is within the normal ranges.
So i would advice a detailed physical examination and laboratory exams as prescribed by your doctor.
Wish you good health,
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta Guni
