HOLY COW!  A DOC MAKES THIS DIAGNOSIS BASED ON SYMPTOMS?  It may (or may not)
be good that you're seeing an endo, but keep this guy/gal, because he/she has
his/her head fastened just right!

Seriously, though.  If the endo downplays the symptoms in favor of lab values
being "normal," either get a new endo, or see if the original doc. will take
over your thyroid-replacement (if you need it).

Good luck.
