A member asked:
Will taking thyroid medication during perimenopause help improve perimenopause symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you: Take the correct amount of brand name T4 replacement to return your thyroid levels to normal, you will return your metabolic rate to normal -- and then your symptoms will be whatever they would have been if you didn't have a thyroid problem to begin with. Good luck.
