Thank you soooo much Diogenes!
Spoke w/ my doctor on the phone today and he said that he believes I have this controversial dx.
Here are the symptoms:

Other

(I have about 9 of these symptoms; with easy weight gain the most prevalant, along w/ weird thyroid test results)

Doc said that my T4 was normal and my T3 was not. He thought I was having some sort of autoimmune reaction and that it would involve taking Cytomel in a specialized way and that I would need a specialist. Unfortunately, the nearest specialist is four hours away.

Some vitamins/herbs I have read about that might help w/ this condition include: Rhodiola Rosea, Guggul, Zinc, Selenium and L Tyrosine.

If anyone has this, knows of someone who has this or knows some information about this....please post or pm.
