 | Do my levothyroxine patients feel perfect? |
| Is EVERY symptom alleviated? |
| Are they 100% satisfied with their medication? |
| Are they taking anti-depressants, cholesterol-lowering | |
| medication, pain-killers or other drugs to alleviate problems that are known to be hypothyroid symptoms? If so, are those drugs the only things keeping them "feeling good?" If a patient requires other medications, her thyroid medications are not correct. |
| Have freeT3 levels been checked? |
| Are their free T3 levels in about the same percentile | |
| as their free T4 levels? Free T3 should not be significantly lower than free T4. |
