2) Do you use FT3/FT4 blood tests to identify thyroid issues or do you solely rely upon TSH?

3) Do you prescribe T3 or natural thyroid with T3 when FT3 is low?

4) What would be a typical doseage of natural thyroid? (They might not answer that).


I would reword 2) to say, Do you rely on TSH for dosing or do you use FT3/FT4 along with symptoms?

I would just ask for 3) if they ever prescribe T3 containing meds - don't qualify it, because sometimes it's just best to have some T3, levels notwithstanding.

4) Cannot be answered - it's a question of individual need, although if you get an answer like "No one ever gets more than 2 grains" you know not to go there.
