Ignorant in the US

Hi Friends,

I just read part of a "comments debate" linked in a post by Marz. It was about self-medicating with T3. I wanted to read it because I had posted something which I figured might be ignorant, but I wasn't sure. Now I'm sure πŸ™πŸ˜§πŸ˜«!!!

Even from the little I read in the comments debate, I can see it is complicated, and people feel strongly about it.

So I want to thank any people who read my post for not getting on me for being ignorant. T3 self-medicating is probably more like, "but for the grace of God, there go I."

Ok thanks for reading, and sorry to anyone I may have offended, j

There is no shame in being ignorant of these things. Where are we supposed to learn them, except by asking questions on forums like these? After all, we don't get much in the way of answers from doctors, do we? :)
