works for me straight away .

not got very far and think i found a mistake :

"T4 refers to the hormone thyroxine made in the body, and LT4 to the pharmaceutical replacement product for that hormone, levothyroxine. Similarly, T3 refers to the hormone triiodothyronine, made in the body and a precursor to thyroxine, and LT3 refers to its pharmaceutical replacement, liothyronine."

? Triiodothyronine is not a precursor to thyroxine , it's the other way round.

edit :Comments are worth a read .. one dr saying they routinely add 5macg T3 once levo dose gets to 100mcg , and other Dr saying they listen to their patients and prescribe NDT.

one muppet saying most patients don't take their levo properly /regularly and if they did , it would work ....yawn

That was exactly my response too when I saw that! I find that a basic error like that puts the entire article in question… when will they learn?
