Thyroid issues, particularly hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's, are often misunderstood. It's crucial to go beyond standard TSH tests and assess a full range of thyroid hormones and antibodies to get an accurate picture of thyroid health. Many people may feel unwell despite normal lab results, highlighting the importance of seeking ideal levels rather than just average ones. Additionally, reliance on levothyroxine alone may not be sufficient for those who struggle to convert T4 to the more active T3 hormone.
