in the lower part of the normal range.

Do you think that your advice of " always use T3/T4 " might not apply to all?

I'd be a lot more prone to believe the lab screwed the test up.

But if it was replicated and that really was the result, then the endo did

indeed do the right thing. My advice in the strict sense is to attain a

physiologically normal state - if you start someplace unusual you will have

to do something odd to do that.

Remember, everyone is a unique individual. Biochemically, not just socially.

There are no absolute rules. That's why medicine is an art and you need a

doc who is open minded.
