A graphic showing highs and lows when you take T3?

[TaraJR]

I'm sure I've seen them before, but sorry I can't find them now.

I think there are some graphics showing the highs and lows/peaks and troughs of T3 when you're on T3 medication.

Does anyone have one please?

Might not be the best, but is this what you mean?

Ooh yes, thank you so much! That was so quick!

Someone I know has a GP who does not understand T3, so she want to share some knowledge...

If you find anything better, I'm always wanting to improve my blog contents, so let me know.

Will do

Before I was diagnosed as hypothyroid, not one single doctor could diagnose without a blood test. Our 'GPs in the past' diagnosed and prescribed NDTs

A number of GPs in the past could diagnose a patient due only to his/her symptoms but nowadays don't even have the tiniest bit of knowledge

I would expect some doctors to be knowledgeable but that's not the case. Even though my TSH was 100 I was told I had no problems!

Another link you might find of interest is what happens to TSH, T4 and T3 in healthy people. It doesn't stay the same 24 hours a day :

This is the paper the original graphs came from :

Many thanks, yes this is helpful. I can also share the graphs with others.
