Words of Advice

I want to let the world know that this thyroid test is something worth trying. I’m sure I can’t be the only person to have had ‘normal’ thyroid tests when (my thyroid) was not normal at all. T3 isn’t usually tested in the NHS blood test as it is thought to be unnecessary if the T4 level is normal. However, as T4 has to convert to T3, there can be reasons why it’s not converting.
