Thanks Tamara. It's very relevant. But my endo won't do the necessary tests. And I am already convinced that I have a conversion problem because I have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism including a low body temperature.

It doesn't matter anymore. I'm not playing this game anymore. I am dropping all my psych meds and staying on the synthroid in the hopes that my body will use some of it. And that's the best I do.

When people take an overdose of T4, they give them a certain stress hormone to block the T4 from converting into T3. Your body cannot use T4, it uses T3.".
