Thyroid problems are most often caused by failure in the production or delivery of hormones from the thyroid gland to tissues throughout the body. This condition is called hypothyroidism and is detected by blood tests showing low levels of the thyroid hormones T4 & T3, and higher levels of the pituitary hormone TSH.
Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome(WTS) does not show up in these tests because the dysfunction occurs after T4 arrives in the tissues. To be available to the body at the cellular level, T4 must undergo a natural conversion to a different, more active form called T3 and, for reasons unknown, this fails to occur. Abnormally low body temperatures result, and this is the main diagnostic sign of WTS.
The condition is treated with pure T3 called triiodothyronine mixed with a sustained release agent, administered in capsule form, usually over a period of months. Given the strong correlation between WTS and the presence of stress in the patient’s life, eliminating stress is a key component of successful treatment.
