Voodoo,,,, if you have any question about the thyroid let me know and I'll try and point you in the right direction...

I believe that hypothyroidism is under diagnosed because Dr's rely on TSH score and usually don't order the Free T4/T3 test unless you ask.... Even when I asked my Dr only ordered the Free T4 test... It's possible to have enough T4 but it doesn't get converted into T3 or you have Thyroid Resistance Hormone,,, it's rare to have TRH but it happens... Also normal TSH doesn't mean it's normal for you... Sometimes when you get tested it clearly says you are hypothyroid but most people with simptoms like Chronic Fatigue test in the normal range,,, when this happens trial doses of thyroid T4/T3 combo is worth a try to see if your symptoms subside,,,
