It sounds to me like he didn't quite get what he is doing? - NO JOKE.
Follow AR's testing suggestions - make sure the FREE testing is done - not just T3 and T4.
May be helpful to educate your doctor on follow up testing with abnormal labs and ask for an uptake thyroid scan too.
PS - you may want to look up Zoloft and abnormal TSH labs on Google. Anything that effects the brain receptors as medication or other things will effect a TSH lab test
and if used for too long - will effect the thyroid gland itself.
Ask for tests for ALL thyroid antibodies, a TSH, a Free T4, and a Free T3. Tell them you want all those tests run, and makes sure they run a TSI antibody test along with others.
Tishtock, you need a new Endo.
They are not doing anything for me. I told them i am still having symptoms and i am not taking the zoloft. They just say to keep coming back for bloodtests.
My endo only tests my TSH as well and I have no idea why. From what I understand your numbers are why you are still having the hyper symptoms. What are they doing for you? Anything besides Zoloft? I hope someone can explain better why they only test TSH. I asked for a full panel and was denied.
