This is difficult to say. If your thyreoiditis is subclinical maybe. If your chronic-lymphocyte thyreoiditis is clinical yes, depending of several parameters; tsh-level, thyroxin, cortisol etc. It is not clear if your neuropsychological status will be better. You have to take care of interactions, precautions etc. T3 has a shorter half-life than T4. If you're taking this in the morning it can eventually cause heart palpitations and sweating. The older you are the more careful you must be. A regular control of fT3/fT4/tsh is necessary. There are other treatments for this autoimmune disorder also.
