How do you know if compounded medications are really
compounds and if there are comporable medications that
are just as good without the expense.

I had a TT in 1977. Was on Synthroid and other T4 for all except 4 years of that time. One of the things I learned is to ALWAYS get and keep copies of your labwork and then do some reading. Also, always get TSH, Free T3 and Free T4 test. Don’t let doctors leave out the Free T3. It is vital, no matter what they tell you. There are lots of books available now that weren’t when I lost my thyroid. Your own education is key. Don’t rely on your doctor to explain things. Get informed and then ask for what you want.

Try getting your hormones tested. I’m on biodentical hormone replacement therapy and it has brought my libido back to life!
