Thank you for creating this insightful community. following total thyroidectomy 3 months ago ,currently taking tirosint 100mg(t4),my question is as I am having a very sluggish metabolism if I should also be taking some t3.my endo says that the body converts t3 on a cellular level and this can't be seen on blood test results .my endo also said I will have symptoms such as heart palpitations if I take t3.I am.in my mid thirties and an athlete and have gained 15 kgs pre operation and 5kg following without changing anything in my healthy lifestyle .the reason the thyroidectomy was many enlarged suspicious nodules covering all thyroid,but thankfully results showed no cancer .
Looking forward to your advise.
