Im 36/f. I have been to many different types of specialists only to be looked at as if i was a hypochondriac. After having my tsh checked for yrs and always being told my labs were normal I finally did my own research and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism by an endo specialist Nov 2008.
I was not happy with my endo specialist, she put me on 50 mg synthyroid and asked to see my back in 6mths. she did ultrasound of my thyroid which showed my glands were small, no nodules etc. she gets numbers muddled up when typing her doctors notes so i was concerned about how she was going to treat me efficiently.
so i then found a good family doctor in Jan 09, he placed me on Armour 90mgs. My insurance dropped him early Feb 09 so i havent gone back to see him since i started the Armour.
Im waiting to see a new endo end of March 09.
I am at the beginning of my journey to regain my health and life back. Please bare with me, I am finding it a bit overwhelming having to learn about the thyroid, adrenals, pituitary etc, while feeling miserable. I dont understand how to convert the different units used in my labs tests.
If any of you know of a good doctor in Utah please let me know.
The test done on 01/08/09 was when i was on synthroid 50mgs for 1 month. i switched over to Armour the following day after the test.
I have requested allot of labs by many different doctors. I dont know exactly what is wrong with me besides the hypothyroidism.
I don't know how to tell if i do have high RT3 problems, or human growth deficiency, adrenal issues, pituitary problems or hashi's.
Can you guys look over my labs and let me know what you think?
