[QUOTE="John O'Connor, post: 37576, member: 13064"] I can't disagree with seeing Dr. Saya, as he is a great doctor. But - I hate the implication that a TSH of 2.7 is high, and you need a specialist to figure this out. I think any good doctor (primary or endocrine) would not put you on Synthroid with TSH of 2.7, and anti-TPO of 8 (<34). Also - improving your Vitamin D from 25, may improve your mid range TSH level. I'm not opposed to complete thyroid panel with reverse T3. But I think we are jumping ahead with suggesting he needs to see Dr. Saya to figure this out. Ask your current doctor why they put you on Synthroid, without re-checking TSH first to see if the 2.7 TSH is always that high or if that was just a moment in time. TSH varies through the day. Also ask your doctor for a referral to an endocrinologist if he/she is not experienced with treating thyroid related issues. In some ways I'm impressed that your doctor is willing to treat you with TSH of just 2.7, as many doctors won't treat thyroid issues until it's double or triple that level. But force your doctor to explain his recommendation, or refer you to a specialist. No need to pay out-of-pocket, in this situation. Chris - please answer my original question - Will his Reverse T3 be impacted by taking Synthroid? Would it be better to get off Synthroid for 2 weeks and then check Reverse T3 and everything else? And Nosupermodel - I know this all make you nervous. Relax - you are in no way at risk of harm, using or not using Synthroid. I'm simply trying to emphasize that everything is ruled out appropriately. Stay positive! [/QUOTE]
