[QUOTE="VacationMan, post: 209611, member: 12425"] Have your doc check TPO antibodies, thyroid perdoxase and TSH - in addition to free T3 and Free T4. If your doc skips these tests, they're not doing you justice. If your TSH comes in at 4.0 or above, you likely have a thyroid issue. If your antibodies are elevated (which they likely will be), it could be Hashimotos. Me? I have Hashimotos. Didn't show up one visit. Next 6-month follow-up, my TSH was elevated. Doc though it was a lab error, so we pulled blood again. The second was even worse than the first. It was like a light switch - one moment you're fine, next moment you have thyroid disease. I'm now on both T4 and T3 meds for thyroid...and likely will be for the rest of my life. [/QUOTE]
