Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Candy, Please post the reference range for T4 at your lab - it changes a lot. And have you had your T3 tested? The symptoms you described sound like hypo symptoms. Maybe you need more medication, or a different kind of medication. Please don't settle for feeling " less bad than without any medication " , you deserve to feel good.
