Summary
Had normal thyroid panels for years despite developing dry skin, dry hair and joint pain, until T3 levels eventually tested abnormal and thyroid medication was started. Illness duration before this point is not given, though she describes herself as still greatly disabled. Reports feeling five to ten percent better after two months on the medication. Explains that pituitary compensation can mask an underlying thyroid decline on standard tests, which is why she believes her case was missed for so long; no further follow-up beyond the two-month mark is given in the thread.
