Leslie, thank you for starting this thread and mrsd, thank you for all that great information. I have to print it all out. I have a call into an endo that I might have to wait a bit to get in with. I also will have to self pay as he is not part of our HMO. However, my gp, as well meaning as she is...has never even tested my T3 or T4 or, quite honestly, even palpitated my thyroid. The endo on my HMO is apparently not great, so I will have to self refer.

Thank you again, the information you provided has definately opened up my eyes.
