What do you suggest if my thyroid is dead and t4 is not helping my metabolism. how do i get my physician to try me on t3 (liothyronine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You need to get: your T4 dose adjusted to get TSH and Free T4 in normal range if symptoms persist , LOOK FOR OTHER CAUSES OF YOUR SYMPTOMS rather than ask for T# though controversy exists, the endocrine societies do not recommend T3 (liothyronine) therapy
