I'm not allowed the T3 med because according to the doctor, my T3 is within normal range. I ask about numbers but I get no reply. So I will have to get a printout of all my tests because I'm not allowed to see my own lab results.
At the same time he wants me on blood pressure meds because I am two measly points above normal diastole. Idiot.

Do you know if your doctor gave you a full panel looking at tsh, free t3, reverse t3, t4, etc? A lot of conventional doctors don't do this. I had a test showing my T3 levels were normal but when they looked at reverse T3 (the one that causes hypothyroidism), the level was really high.
