Andrea,

I was wondering - are you going to a traditional MD or an alternative practitioner? Because my doctor (an alternative/holistic MD) says that most doctors consider most people to have normal thyroids, even if they are problematic. He claims that they only see a very small section along a scale of functioning as dysfunctional, whereas in reality (in the holistic medicine world), the windown of dysfunction is much larger.....this results in many people with thyroid issues being told that their thyroids are fine, when in fact they aren't.

My tests indicated that my thyroid was fine. But my doctor is treating me anyway, and my body is handling quite large doses of armour thyroid, and with no shakiness or side effects, which confirms for my doctor that my body truly needs that high dose, and that my thyoid was functioning very poorly.

Just food for thought....
