Nelly41,

It's just another doctor appointment so ask about whatever is bothering you. If the endocrinologist arranges your blood tests ask for a printout with the ranges or if that can't be accommodated ask for the results and ranges and make a note of them.

ednos really dont know a lot.That is my opinion.he or she will prescribed you a levo dose and blood tests for your next meeting.

you can ask how to take your medicine and what to expect.

There is a possibility that blood tests will be done. Don't take your levo on the day of the appointment until after it is over and you've left the hospital or clinic.
