Keep in mind that you can still have Wilson s syndrome even if your thyroid lab tests all appear normal. Testing Wilson s Syndrome can be tested for with a blood test, but as I have recently learned, sometimes Wilson's will not show up on the test. Another indication is to look at a patient s average daily temperature, to determine if it is below 98.6 degrees. Treatment Treatment for most people tends to last a few months, and is usually quite successful. Patients are given slow release T3 hormone, in an attempt to reset the thyroid system.
Treatment goes in cycles.
By a cycle I mean that a person keeps careful track of their average daily temperatures, with the idea being to target 98.6 degrees . Then, as long as your temperature remains at 98.6, after staying on that dose for a few days, you would slowly wean off the medication.
