Thanks for the advice. I wil ask to have the antibodies tested next time I have lab work done. I have seen several endocrinologists in the past several years, and my problem with them is they are always pushing the synthetic drugs (Synthroid, Levothyroxine, Levothroid) that have never worked for me. I even specifically asked one of them if she would put me on Armour Thyroid and she said no! Since then, I went back to my GP, who said he would, indeed, put me on Armour. Have good luck with it, but still not quite right. I would like to find an endocrinologist in my area (Houston, TX) that prefers natural thyroid medicines as opposed to synthetic. Any suggestions from anyone in this area?
What are the ranges on your T3 and T4, and are they free T3 and free T4 or total T3 and total T4? If they don't specifically say "free" or FT3/FT4, they are total.
