It sounds like you have a good doctor...those are hard to find anymore (IMO). I had an awesome doctor that I used for years...I honestly loved him, but then he moved back to his home town....it was horrible. I haven't been happy with any doctor since!

All the doctors I have seen regarding thyroid said that a few years back, too many doctors prescribed the synthetic thyroid meds...just about to any and everybody, so most of them now, shy away from those drugs....UNLESS you absolutely need them. Before, you could be border line and you could take them to get back to the correct level...even if you were just barely borderline, now....no way.....in a way that is good, but then, in a way it would be good to be on them for a short time to get you back in the right place. I guess it all depends on the doctor.
