I'm so sorry you're going through this. I only know a few minor things you might check. First, there's a lag in the TSH test. The TSH test tells you how your thyroid was functioning six weeks ago--at least, this is what I've read.

Second, a straight T4 test may not be accurate in the presence of estrogen and liver disease: http://www.auburn.edu/~deruija/endo_thyroidfts.pdf

Your endocrinologist probably did a free T4 test, which would be more accurate. Do you happen to have your lab results?
