isn't working...for sure someone needs to check this lady's Free T4 and Free

T3.

Is there another treatment for low pituitary function? Or will correcting the

thyroid also correct the pituitary?

My friend had her pituitary gland injured in an accident & it stopped working

altogehter. I'm sure she has thyroid deficiency too. She's also diabetic.

Re: Digest Number 2023

A low TSH with a low T4 can be indicative of a pituitary problem--

i.e. the pituitary is not sending a message via the TSH for the

thyroid to produce more! Anybody else have an opinion?? It would

have also helped to have seen a free T3. Another stupid doc for not

doing so.
