T3 and T4 meds taken together

[juliaheppers]

Please help can I ask my endo for this as my thyroid has been ablated by radio iodine and 3 years on and on 300 mcg levothyroxine felt really poorly for years now

I have read so many story's that when given together people turn a corner my next endo appointment is not till August can I ask my gp for this and why have I never been suggested this especially with no thyroid function surely we need both to feel "normal"

Thanks as always
