This is a remarkable testimony of a patient’s journey through hypothyroidism. All should read it and reflect on how providers approach patients with thyroid disease. Kudos to Mary Saunders!

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of speaking at Kuma Hospital in Kobe, Japan. Profs. Ito and Akamizu explained that they keep thyroidectomized patients on LT4 and a subnormal TSH to normalize T3 levels and minimize residual symptoms, with very positive results overall.

Look at these new and exciting findings! Some areas of the brain (e.g., the cerebellum) in LT4-treated mice remain hypothyroid even after TSH levels have normalized. Could this contribute to the brain fog reported by many patients on LT4? pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
