Florence, I am hypothryoid but my Endo is an idiot. He doesn't take the right blood tests IMHO. I believe I have a conversion problem. He likes to use the good old synthroid. Ugh. I wanted to use Armour but he wouldn't go for it. I live in Canada where finding a specialist is hard enough as it is. And I think my pdoc and my endo should be discussing my case together ... but that is never going to happen.
Which group are you on?
