- Very nice visit. I was shocked. He asked me how I felt (which he never did before). THEN he checked my latest bloodwork.I did tell him I felt 'foggy' at times in my head. He did agree to lower the MMI and I'll be on a straight 5 mg a day instead...

- He bases everything on the TSH levels which right now are low. I discussed the issue with him and he was surprised I knew so much. Well - he kept telling me I need to have the uptake done and eventually the RAI. He said that the hyper symptoms...
