Candance, I know I said I was taking a break but I have to weigh in here. Alec would want me to. You had two tests tell you that Skylar had HyperT, right? Both...
Hi Leah, I'm glad you wrote. It was only his first test that had the High FreeT4ED, because he started medication after that test. We did ask the IM about the...
Hi Leah, again We will ask the cardiologist at his next echo in 3 1/2 weeks about the T3 test, after she does the echo. Depending on what she can determine...
