Thanks for the clarification!

I started levothyroxine a few months ago, but was also confused because when I looked at the labs they looked like they were shifting back to where they were when I was really struggling with Graves/hyperthyroid, but this time around the symptoms are so different than they were 10 years ago when it was all pretty clearly hyper thyroid– now it’s some hyper, some hypo, all annoying All I remember from my first few times around was the T3, T4 and TSH numbers, so the antibody info is a whole new thing to learn more about…

Hi All-

Thanks for the feedback, I’m new to the city, and am just trying to start with a slightly shorter list than every single endo in the phonebook. I’ve avoided working with my last doctor, because I really wasn’t happy with her, but do need to find someone soon, as I’m having trouble controlling my symptoms and don’t currently have ANY doctor (travelling three states away to see my old docs just isn’t an option).

I definitely understand the need to interview different doctors to see if they’re a good match (I’ve had a few wonderful doctors and a few TERRIBLE doctors in the past, and don’t have a problem moving on if it’s not a good fit), but I do need someone who is willing to look at my history and help me work out some treatment in the meantime. I don’t have any sick/vacation time accrued at my new job, so I don’t have the luxury of visiting a lot of doctors (realistically, I think I could come in late or take a long lunch maybe once a month), so I’m basically looking for SOME way of narrowing the field besides pulling names out of a hat, and figured that patient satisfaction is as good an indicator as any ” title=”Wink” />
