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.
