Body temp on arising, and carotene deposition in the skin
are both really strong symptoms.

Other symptoms are more vague.

Low thyroid also leads to elevated cholesterol levels.
If yours is normal, that suggests your thyroid is working still.

You have to call around, and ask THE QUESTION. "Does this doctor treat according to the new scale?"

In the end you can beg. I have been known to beg convincingly.
If you frame your request conservatively, and ask to try, low dose for a few months, there is no harm really. The body will adjust to any externally given hormone and even out. Staying below 100mcg is considered safe for your bones.
