Dr. Stephen Langer was my thyroid doctor in Berkeley up until we moved five years ago. He's the only doctor who tested me for thyroid antibodies, after being hypothyroid for ten years with TSH levels that would swing from 0.5 to 19 (on the same dosage of synthetic thyroid).
After confirming I had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Dr. Langer put me on dessicated thyroid and THAT'S when I started getting better. It's been uphill ever since. Dessicated was the key for me.
I know I'm coming into this thread late... how are you doing now? You didn't say if your doctor is a thyroid specialist; many endocrinologists specialize in diabetes.
BTW, Dr. Arem is my sister's thyroid doctor in Houston.
