my guess is its some form of T4 ( and possibly T3) both which are thyroid hormone replacement therapies.

Wow! Go mum!!
She sounds amazing and will no doubt help you no end! I get your point though - I too wished i felt as great as your mum! My mum went on HRT years ago and was like Wonder Woman the whole time... so far, 1 year in and i feel crap. 😦(
Hope you both have a lovely time catching up and you feel better soon.

If I may ask, why did they put her on hormones at her age?

Wow, I wonder if it'll help my mom. She's 87 and had to have part of her thyroid removed. She takes thyroid medication too.

Im so happy to hear your mom made it over and you got the chance to see her and visit. I needed my mom big time when things were so bad last year! When i was feeling so rough, she was certainly running circles around me!
How are you feeling?
