It is despairing when GP's are so ill informed about thyroid gland conditions. When they only take account of the numbers on a sheet of paper rather than asking the patient how they feel. They have no knowledge of how our metabolism works and for it to work efficiently and properly our cells have to have sufficient conversion to T3 from T4. If our dose is too low - symptoms re-appear or new ones. This is a link and cursor to question dated April 22, 2007 and June 8, 2001 and there are other topics at the top of the page.
