The majority of T4-only treated patients have found themselves in one of three groups, or a combination of some parts:
1) Those who did poorly from the beginning with continuing hypothyroid symptoms (that was me, Janie)
2) Those who saw “some” symptom improvement on T4-only, but it just wasn’t enough improvement in all areas.
2) Those who did fabulous from the beginning, only to see hypothyroid symptoms creep up here and there the longer they stayed on, requiring anti-depressants, or statins, or pain meds or other.
But even if you finally found the right treatment for you (which is adding direct T3 (the active hormone) to that T4 (a storage hormone)…or moving over to Natural Desiccated Thyroid…it’s important to learn the following…..
