The doctors who think that it is best to treat by symptoms argue that the T3 levels in the blood do not necessarily correlate with how much T3 gets into the cells. They argue that 2 people can have the same blood levels, but one person might have trouble getting thyroid hormones into their cells.
Since there might be a link to osteoporosis, they will generally limit the amount of T3 to a level which will not put your TSH below 1.0.
