I've never seen a 'mild hypothyroid'. It's ok though, I'm FROM NY state and had to MOVE to get a doctor who would give me what I needed.

My thyroid doctor says 'mild hypothyroidism' is just like 'being mildly pregnant'.

Now, sprinkles, do you have Hashimoto's Autoimmune hypothyroidism? And are you converting that little bit of T4 into the T3 (that gives metabolism)???

There's a way to tell and I'd be happy to look at your copies of 'Free T3 (with the lab range used) and Free T4 (with the lab range USED) and TPO AB. TSH is senseless without those.

I never lost any weight from being 'properly replaced by T4 and T3'..it just 'evened the playing field' and made my efforts 'pay off'.
.

I have to have both T4 and T3 (just like my real thyroid would make if it COULD) and take pig thyroid which also has T1 and T2 (like my real thyroid would make if it COULD). And I know I'm converting when I see my FT4 stay about midway of it's range, yet my FT3 is higher in its' range.
