Need a good Endo near the Twin Cities in MN

hi, I'm Hypothyroid, but I need an Endo who will thoroughly check my Free T's and such, and prescribe something other than Synthroid, or at least add cytomel to the mix.. cuz since they put me on KeppraXR instead of Dilantin for sz's, I have gained 25pounds! it's like my synthroid isn't working yet labs come back all ok according to (family)doc, and I need an Endo.. near Minneapolis, Mn

What are your current lab results?  Apparently you aren't being checked for some of the most important tests, but would be good if you could post what you have, along with the lab's reference ranges.

I'll PM you on this. You would think this state would be better with the Mayo here, think again!
