Ridiculously after my endo see that my TSH is only 0.01 he told me to cut down my Armour to only 0.5 grain. What a joke.

What a joke. I think I am going to be my own doctor for a while.

My TSH also came back as .01, and my free T3 was a little over the top of the range. But I feel fine, no symptoms at ALL of hyper - no racing pulse, my temps are fine, no anxiety or loose bowels. But because of the LABS, my Armour is being dropped down. Again. Which only means I'll have to supplement MORE on the side. I'm ready to just ditch the docs altogether. Wow, this could be ME!!

I belong to a medical group in which I am not ready to name, but it's an HMO. Therefore, in order for me to see any specialist, I have to go through my internist...which is okay if you have an internist that truly listens to you, looks at your whole chart and sees that you have been here numerous times complaining of aliments in which he can't explain..."maybe I should explore further before sending her off?". Did I mention I don't have a thyroid? Any idiot can go on the internet and see symptoms of hyperthyroid and hypothyroid. Well, I am one of those idiots that didn't look until I remembered what another doctor had informed me to look out for. Silly me. I should have told this HMO doctor that I was simply having these symptoms that my old doctor warned me about, or maybe since he's the doc and has my file, and knows that I am thyroidless, that he should have spotted these symptoms and ordered more tests than just a simple TSH? Well since my doctor insisted I see a neuropsychiatrist, instead of a Endocrinologist (thyroid specialist), I was a little disturbed. I called his nurse back, who is the middle man doctor, and asked her to please give me a referral for a Endocrinologist first. She called me back, and said your doctor is saying you don't need an Endo, you need a Psych. Needless to say, I fired my doctor today! I have a new one in line to see next week and I will be bringing lots of publications of thyroid issues such as "My TSH is normal, so why do I still feel sick?" If you are hypothyroid, I would encourage you to go to Google and type that in, you will be enlightened to know you are not crazy, I know I was.
