If you go to the health pages there is a topic that says "Find a Doctor" or something like that about halfway down the page.

It has a link that takes you to a site that may list doctors in your area.

The button for health pages is up there on the right side.

When you see the doctor, tell him/her that you want your TSH closer to 1.0.

Oh, welcome to the forum, Jim. :o)
