Thyroid doctor in Northern Florida

[seasonedcowgirl]

I recently found out that I am highly at risk for hypothyroid.  My TSH test came back high.  Free t3 and free t4 were normal, but I have many symptoms.  Everything I have read online tells me that I need thyroid meds, but the doctor I am seeing says she will not give them to me.  Today I took the questionnaire on diagnose-me.com  It is about 900 pages to give you a diagnosis of potential problems.  They also said that I was hypothyroid, and need a second opinion.  Does anyone know of a good doctor in the Crestview, Ft Walton Beach, Pensacola area that might treat this condition?

Thank you, I have already tried this, but did not get good results when I called the doctors I found,  I would really like to get a doctor someone has seen!  Thank you so much for taking time to reply!

TSH was 3.990, reference range was .3 - 3.0  I will have to find my lab work to get the other values.  According to the American Association of endocrinology,  these are the current suggested values!

What are your actual lab results, along with the reference range used for each?

[Super_sally888]

If your TSH is high it means you are hypothryoid.  If the FT3 and FT4 are normal it is called subclinical hypothryoid.  But you still need treatment.  By the way, the FT3 and FT4 should be in at least the mid range to be considered 'normal'.

Could you please post your actual results and the reference range.

You should definitely seek a second opinion.
