Hi I went to see gp regarding a couple of things yesterday..not thyroid related.. (new doc half my age..) and all he kept going on about was tsh (he doesn't know about my ndt)and how it was supressed and blah -dee- blah....!So we spent half the appointment 'arguing 'about it ...he said I was completely wrong and he was actually doing some kind of studying/assignment about TSH as we speak etc etc.....I'm just wondering if anybody has any good links to studies/info about TSH that will hopefully 're educate' or at least make him question his backward thinking so I can print off and present him with?Thanks

Oh dear! Good luck with him. At least he doesn't appear to have shouted at you and told you never to darken his doorste again.

Suspect a lot will depend on the conversation he had (if any) with his colleagues - or even his tutor or whoever he is doing his assignment for - when he staggered back to his staff room shell shocked.
