Thyroid Issues Often Go Undiagnosed
- Millions have undiagnosed hypothyroidism because standard testing and dismissal hide symptoms.
- Amy Horniman warns that many patients are misdiagnosed due to inadequate lab panels and poor clinical listening.
Insist Doctors Ask How You Feel
- Ask practitioners "How do you feel?" and insist labs match symptoms rather than relying on a single TSH.
- Request full thyroid panels (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3) and overlay labs with symptoms.
