Patient Experiences on DTE

This is useful narrative paper on why how and when patients prefer NDT (DTE) over other therapies. It might have been posted before, but the journal is obscure. Downloadable paper:

Apologies: I posted this 7 months ago.

I didn’t see it previously and thank you for reposting it. Deliberate or not 😊

‘an overall positive drug effect in individuals treated with DTE, compared to those taking LT4 or LT4 + LT3’

I’ve always steered away from DTE but find this interesting. It links to a previous study and I had read anecdotal evidence probably listed in the study originally posted! More to ponder I suppose. Wonder when you submit to defeat on synthetic? Sorry. Thinking aloud there.

I think an occasional repost of the best articles is a good idea. Not everybody knows you or who you are, or what your involvement in thyroid research is, so wouldn't think to go to your profile to see what you've posted in the past.
