Can Levothyroxine Be Used For Hypothyroidism?

Hello - I have hypothyroidism, but I can t get my doctor to be interested in testing my T3 results. She just says that I don t need it. I would like to know ifcja the Levothyroxine is actually getting into the necessary cells to make a difference. Meanwhile, I still feel sluggish and my hair keeps getting thinner.
