Hi all
Haven't been on for a while (sorry) but I'm writing a letter to my GP and hoped someone might be able to help... I have a completely unsympathetic GP but managed for a while to see a different GP who, while not great, at least listened to me - but they've now stopped me seeing her. In response I am writing to the surgery to express my dissatisfaction and want to give it to them belt and braces - that I know what I'm talking about, that they have consistently not supported me in trying to manage my condition, that I want a referral to an endocrinologist and I won't stop requesting it until it happens (using the RMOC Lio prescribing guidelines to back that up) and that for some people T4 just doesn't restore a decent quality of life.
I wondered if anyone had a reference to an article citing the (usual) optimal levels of T4 and T3 for hypo/hashi's? I seem to recall it's something like T4 in the top half of range and T3 around the 75% mark (but I might be wrong!)
Also any article around T4 not working for people.
TIA
