endocrinologist and thyrodid

[Ari3]

Can anyone anyone suggest me endocrinologist who would likely try on t3 or NDT? I desperately need one as getting nowhere!?

That looks very very good.

Ayesha,

Have you progressed on to the 75mcg dose of Levothyroxine yet?

I recall that you were reluctant to take the prescribed Levothyroxine and when eventually you did start it you would only start on 25mcg although you were prescribed 50mcg.

You are in very early days of starting your Levothyroxine. Do you think you have given it a chance?
