[quote=Anonymous]Find a doctor (doesn't have to be an endo) who will take symptoms into account, not just lab results. I'd definitely be flat on the floor with a TSH that high. Also, you need to have a full thyroid panel run, not just TSH, which is only a proxy for thyroid functioning and doesn't give you the full picture of appropriate treatment. For example, my reverse T3 is high if I don't take T3 in addition to thyroid hormone. I take Armour Thyroid, not levothyoxine, as well, as I do better on it. I just got my lab results today and my TSH was 0.83. My primary care doctor and my endo both like to keep me between 0.5 and 1. [/quote]
