Please share my post if you would like to see better hypothyroid care for patients. We need prompt, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment, including access to liothyronine, T3 for those who need it. Sorry the article is behind a paywall unless you are a subscriber.

Thyroid disorders affect 1 in 20 pregnancies. Undiagnosed, they can have serious consequences for both parent & baby. Why aren’t we talking about this more? Learn more via the Thyroid Foundation of Canada: thyroid.ca/thyroid-diseas… #ThyroidHealth #MaternalHealth #CanadianHealth

残念ながら、甲状腺機能低下症の症状に通じた医師は極わずかです。 甲状腺ホルモンの全体像を深く理解している医師はさらに少なく、 副腎との密接な関係にまで目を向ける医師となると、ほとんど皆無と言ってよいでしょう。 この病は自身で知らなければ、人生は音もなく、着実に蝕まれていくのです。

Cancer and cardiac mortality is higher in people with high normal fT4 compared to those with low normal fT4. Levothyroxine monotherapy puts patients at risk. Combination therapy with a little T3 is safer. Levothyroxine monotherapy should not be routinely used.

Hugely lack of knowledge by drs about hypothyroidism. Certainly in UK, poor diagnosis and treatment. No understanding of how crucial T3 is. Treat to screen tests results, not symptoms. No choice of treatments. Countless 1,000s UK patients left on scrapheap. Huge change needed.

The findings are valid only for patients with hypothyroidism. The association between treatment that contains T3 with reduced cases of dementia is very significant. There are between 15 and 20 million patients with hypothyroidism in the US.

Hypothyroidism. Current Endos, forcibly prescribing just one replacement drug (levothyroxine) & ignoring hundreds of thousands of pts who can’t tolerate it & need combi therapy with T3 or t3 monotherapy. This is harm in the backwaters of NHS treatment

Can this be called normal? Look at T4 and T3 levels in LT4-treated patients with normal TSH. T4 stays high and T3 drops to the bottom of the reference range. This goes on for years, for the duration of the treatment. 1/2 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38506164/

Are you lazy or are you hypothyroid?

甲状腺機能低下症は、本来なら回復できる病気です。 ところが今の医療では、「T4（チラーヂン）の数値が正常なら問題なし」と見なされてしまいます。 この仕組みのせいで、症状が残ったまま見放される患者が後を絶ちません。

It says that in the BTA Guidelines and that drs dont have to prescribe if they dont feel confident in doing so. It also says that if the person pays privately the NHS doesnt have to. 😩

Liothyronine has made all the difference to me.

This is horrible. T3 has been life changing for me.

Most doctors still rely on a 1970s model, using only TSH and T4 levels to diagnose and treat #hypothyroidism. But this model overlooks a critical truth: it's not about lab values, it's about tissue-level T3 effect. Lyme-literate physician (who introduced the Lyme community to…

The REAL causes behind hypothyroidism (even if your labs are "normal"): ◇ Low T3 levels (active thyroid hormone) ◇ High reverse T3 (inactive hormone) ◇ Stress (suppresses TSH, blocks T4 → T3) ◇ High cortisol and adrenaline (blocks T4 → T3) ◇ Free fatty acids (block T3…

People with hypothyroidism show significantly higher levels of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and key bacterial distinctions than those without the thyroid condition, according to results of a study. ms.spr.ly/6014sEnTE

ERFA makes me feel normal 💯

It is 4 years since this thyroid guidance was published. There's plenty more evidence now that T3 is needed, and preferred by many. Trials quoted in 2019 were underpowered. We deserve better. Patients are being harmed. @NICEComms when will this be reviewed?

NICE guidance NG145 on managing Primary hypothyroidism.

Brilliant charity.. please support it! And it's so easy to support Thyroid UK this way.
