They often just glance at labs and if nothing is red they don't examine further. Also many don't know the NEW range starts at 400. So you have to follow up on that yourself. If you are below 400 and in the US, this could be causing nerve damage.

Hashimoto's patients can go hypo to hyper and back again. Some of the people posting on our Autoimmune forum discuss this cycling back and forth.

Night sweats can come from hyperthyroid issues, but also from low blood sugars during the night. Try a snack at bedtime with some protein in (no more than 200 cals) and see if the sweats get better. Low grade infections, also, and possible elevated cortisol (PCOS), and parasitical infections.
Thanks so much for your time...I have called and left a message to get my B12 numbers...hopefully they won't balk. Also going to see if Walgreen's carries the b12 form you recommended in the b12 thread my hubby can bring some home and save me a trip!
