Finding a medical professional who DOES pay attention to symptoms is like finding a jewel in mud.

When my TSH was smack in the middle of the "normal" range, my endo went ahead and raised my Armour thyroid dose, because I was symptomatic. And when, having lost weight in the 6 months since I started that higher dose, I was symptomatic of hyperthyroid, he went back to the baseline, not dropped it dramatically, as many do.

Having seen an endo who was much more the other way, I know what a treasure this man is. Luckily, he's young, so I have a good chance that he'll be around for a while!
