Conversion problem

[yorkshiregirl44]

How would you know if a conversion problem was causing symptoms. What might your thyroid results look like?

Thanks

If you have a high end t4 and lower end t3 .

Thanks,,i can never seem to get the t4 and t3 tested at the same time.One lab would only do t3 and not 4.

Forgot to ask but does it matter about tsh level?

The doctors think it is important but I think it should only be used as a guide and take more note of our clinical symptoms

This is an explanation in the first question - if only more doctors treated patients in this way (as used to be done before blood tests were invented in the '60's).
