Thanks for posting. So glad I was able to get T3 on NHS. I actually feel normal some days!

That’s great you get it on NHS - one must not loose hope 😊

Another nice piece by Tania.

" what society fails to measure , it fails to value" (T3)

I notice that in the 6 week observation, only 2/10 of the healthy subjects had an FT3 % (through range) that was consistently less than the FT4 %.

In the other 8/10, it's the same or often greater than FT4%,

This ties in with the ACTUAL result in the 'Pilo' study with 14 subjects ...... (as opposed the the narrow way 'pilo ' is usually referenced, ie 'the normal thyroid produces 80% t4 and 20% t3 in everybody, no exceptions' which is bollox )
