[QUOTE="Dave Barry, post: 2806, member: 117"] Nelson, I have been following my mothers hypothyroidism for many years. She has seen many endocrinologists, some of which are the "best" in the field. Recently, her Free-t4 was high and her Free-t3 was low. Her endocrinologist; therefore, lowered her dose of Synthroid. It boggles my mind that her doctor thinks that by decreasing her dosage, her problem will be solved. He was correct that the lowered dosage resulted in her Free-t4 normalizing. But, this is going to result in her Free-t3, which is already low, to fall further out of range. Therefore, you'd figure that he would also check her Free-t3 since it was out of range in her last blood-work. Correct? I was blown away when she told me they did not test her Free-t3, but only Tsh and Free-t4. Logically, it seems that the only way to solve her problem would be to either use separate t-4 and t-3 or a combination of the two such as Armour thyroid. [/QUOTE]
