A member asked:
I have hashimotos and my endocrinologist refuses to check my t3 levels because he says its pointless. so is it really necessary for my t3 levels to be checked regularly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Regularly checking T3 level does not provide any additional information useful for a long term management of Hashimoto thyroiditis. TSH and T4 or free T4 are often followed up.

Today my new dr (one visit) called that I have hashimotos after bloodtest, I've been treated for just low thyroid for four years. With this new diagnosis would it be wise to see an endocrinologist.
