Well that's the worse report I have seen on the review today. Whoever wrote that that either didn't read the review or didn't understand it! It didn't say anything of the kind! It said that people with subclinical hypothyroidism may not see any benefit from taking levo! And then ruled out a number of patient groups that the recommendation didn't apply to.

Outrageously simplified copy. But also in the ‘dead’ area of the page so seen as unimportant news. Oh the irony - in this case ‘any publicity is good publicity’ is not true. I despair. 🤸🏿‍♀️🥛

Think I may take that with me next time the GP tells me I should be on Levo and not NDT! :)
