My doc says synthetic thyroxine can never be as effective as your
own, but it's better than nothing!
Most docs aren't bothered about individuals, they are body mechanics
so if it's not in the manual then it doesn't exist. If you're outside
*normal* it's in your mind so dont waste their time! (Who is this
normal person?)
