BUt how could I be in low thyroid and low adrenal if my tsh is low and my cortisol high???
Because those don't directly measure anything. TSH is a secondary marker that can reflect T3 levels (which is the active thyroid hormone), but it isn't necessarily accurate in 100% of cases. Your cortisol can be high, but you can have insensitive receptors - which is most likely the case if you have high cortisol but no symptoms similar to Cushing's disease. Being sensitive to cortisol means you would have low-moderate cortisol levels.
I think you should just follow Orion's advice.
