BUT yet, I am not giving any thyroid medicine because the doctors I have seen in my area (3 specialists and 2 general doctors) do not approve of just "passing out" the medicine unless they are 100% sure they will improve the symptoms. So, with all my symptoms.....pretty much the same as yours, nothing has been done. Oh, my TSH (blood tests) have all come back normal too. - Another reason for none of them giving me any thyroid pills. I did have a scare a few months back because one thought it was a tumor....but this lastest scan showed it was a muscle mass. (aurgh). So, I don't know what else to do. |
The thyroid levels are iffy depending on what doctor you see...some want to see a higher number than others. I don't want meds unless I absolutely need them. I hate to take anything unnecessary but I desperately want to get to the bottom of what is going on here.
