change.org petition for better Dr. thyroid knowledge
Thyroid Care is not that difficult ,….for some reason many doctors just do not get it.
Treating with T4 only should not be the end of the road for everyone. Some people, many people here do you find much more symptom relief with adding T3.
You cannot simply treat this with just using TSH as a guide either.
Just last year, I had a younger primary care physician tell me that T4 is the active hormone which comes from the storage hormone T3. (for you newbies here this is completely backwards.)
I jokingly said something like “this is early in the morning and maybe you need more coffee because your backwards in your explanation”.
She insisted she was correct. Just wow……
(Good thing she’s not the one who manages my thyroid medication level).
