Recent Diagnosis

Hi, so ive been sick for years. Studying and trying to figure out what was wrong. Dr.'s and tests weren't much help. Finally discovered I was Hypothyroid, and my Labs just came in, Hashimotos (Auto Immune Thyroiditis). Thankfully Ive been in some intense research and been a Lab Rat for years (a very good one too). Just want to jump in here and share and learn with others.

Do you think you have a good thyroid doctor that will treat clinically, by testing and adjusting Free T3 and Free T4 as necessary to relieve symptoms, without being constrained by resultant TSH levels?  If not, give us your location and perhaps we can suggest a good prospect for you.
