> How wonderful. So she's on the combo T4 & T3? And when you say upper range are you saying optimal . . . Only thing seems higher number can cause problems too. Thyroid so confusing. What's important is She if better. Phillipa
Just as the lower number seems OK for some people, upper levels are needed for others, especially if they are exhibiting hypothyroid signs.
By upper range, I am NOT referring to TSH which is NOT an actual thyroid hormone (it is from the pituitary). I am referring to the actual free T3 and free T4 levels. The family member takes both T3 and T4 in the form of dessicated thyroid - Armour brand.
