My hypo daughter is clearly feeling tired. She leads a very busy life but from own hypo past experience I can see she is going downhill. Here are some of the results she received back in August when she was advised to take Spatone. At that time she had been taking iron tablets but had stopped because she was "fed up with taking them". Not sure how to advise her. Any ideas? Her GP seems to be one of those who relies on TSH and T4 as no T3 results were given.
