[QUOTE="ivkonst2017, post: 208444, member: 42532"] This speaks very poorly for these doctors and you cannot rely on them to fix your thyroid..Most managed care endocrinologists are INCOMPETENT in thyroid and TRT. Even if they put you on thyroid treatment they will put you on levothyroxine(t4 monotherapy) which is GARBAGRE. The only good types of thyroyd therapy include t4 and t3. There are two options - natural dessicated thyroid or synthetic t4/t3 combo. According to my practitioner NDT is handled better by most people escpecially some like me whose hormones are not outside the range. My FT3 was in the middle of the range and I had symptoms. The average doctor will tell you you are fine in that case. Also when these doctors start treatment they wont dare to raise FT3 at the top of the range to optimize you because for some patients this means crashing TSH. They are affraid of that because they have been taught wrong. The interesting thing with thyroid is some patients ot thyroid hormones wont shut down own production if they take both hormones. The chance to shut down reduces with NDT. However some need to get shut down and crash TSH to optimize FT3. For NDT there are supplement forms that are as powerful as the pharmaceuticals. In USA this is the brand Ancestral Supplements. Here in Europe I take Nutriest from Estonia that was recommended to me. I havent yet done bloodwork but since Im taking it especially after I hit week 2 I have way more energy I even feel too stimulated on 1 grain only which means the supplement is high quality and contains the necessary thyroid hormones. On thyroid you do blood work and evaluate symptoms on 6 weeks and raise the dose if necessary. [/QUOTE]
