[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2276910, member: 345386"] TypeZero, whilst the FT4 is, generally, a more useful test than the most usual TSH, for a better picture, you need to know your T3 score too. In essence, TSH is a signalling hormone,signalling the thyroid to push out T4. Our body then converts T3 to T3, which is the active hormone. The TSH score tells us our brain can ask for action. The FT4 informs a rough gauge fr the amount of T4 the thyroid is secreting. The T3 is the action hormone, and without that at a decent level, symptoms can be dire for some. Not everyone's thyroid can react to the call to action (TSH). Not everyone can generate enough T4, for generation, anf not everyone can convert T4 into the active T3. In my own case, my body is poor at pushing out T4 naturally, but even with prescribed T4, my body is unable to convert to T3. In that instance, I have to take T3, which the NHS hate to prescribe, as it is very expensive. Without testing TSH, FT4, T3 along with Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and Thyroglobulin (Tg) antibodies nobody has the full picture. In many cases, even if the NHS tests for antibodies, they usually only test for TPO, even what a consultant requests the tests. A bit like diabetes, our thyroids are very complex glands, but it is central to our whole metabolic systems, and therefore, energy levels. [/QUOTE]
