This 2019 Korean paper confirms all of our work, namely that T4 mono therapy is insufficient for some patients and combination treatment may be needed. It is downloadable.

Thanks for this info - I wonder if they ever get read by the powers that be in this country. If so, they’re keeping them under their hats for fear of losing face. I think we all know the ones I’m thinking about 🤬

Thank you diogenes. It is about time that Endocrinologists also read scientific papers about 'how to treat hypothyroid patients' and how to relieve unpleasant symptoms.

As always, thank you for keeping us updated, Diogenes!
