Did you feel better when starting T3 after being on T4-only?

[Guest guest]

You may not be aware, but Thyroid Patient Advocacy www.tpa-uk.org.uk

<http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/> is in the process of creating a World

Register of Counterexamples to levothyroxine-only (T4) therapy. This

short survey is applicable only to those who continued to suffer

symptoms on T4-only therapy, and who found those symptoms disappeared

once they were started on a T3 hormone containing product , whether

synthetic or natural thyroid extract.

The objective of this Register of Counterexamples to T4-only therapy is

to draw to the attention of those responsible authorities throughout the

world, the dire need for an urgent re-examination of the existing

protocol for the diagnosis and management of the symptoms of

hypothyroidism.

It is VERY important that if you fit this category that you complete the

3 questions with either 'YES', 'NO' or N/A here

http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/register_of_counterexamples.php

<http://www.tpa-uk.org.uk/register_of_counterexamples.php> . All

responses will be collated online, and your email address (if you

provide one) will be used ONLY to contact you at a later date should

this be become necessary. "

If you 'chat' on any other thyroid (or thyroid related forum), will you

also please copy and paste this message there. We have the potential to

gather thousands of such counterexamples, so please do what you can to

help spread the word.

Many thanks
