Hi,
I just saw my new doctor and he is a prince!! He took one look at my low Free T3 and Free T4 levels and had no problem writing me an RX for Armour thyroid!! He was so thorough and LISTENED to me. He said that the TSH number does't tell the whole story. I start on 30mg and he wants to see how I am in 2 weeks and ordered new labs for me and I see him in a month. Incredible!
For anyone who is struggling to find someone who will listen to you, don't give up!! And the people on this website know more than your doctor, trust me!!
Thanks to all who helped me navigate through this!

By any chance would you be willing to share contact info for your doctor either here or via message to me?
I maintain a folder of thyroid doctor recommendations in the event it might help someone else.
Best of luck to you moving forward!!
Please keep us posted.
