My understanding of how the body would be able to use extra thyroid
medication is that it makes more thyroid hormone available to the body
for use, kind of the way that antidepressants work in the body by
increasing the availability of certain neurotransmitters, which tends to
jumpstart the body. I'm still considered hypothyroid not eurothyroid it's
just that he uses other methods besides bloodwork to diagnose.  There is
a pretty extensive amount of literature going back about 40 years to
support this method of diagnosing hypothyroidism, and I've done a pretty
extensive review of the literature myself.  I guess we all have to decide
what we are comfortable with.  That was why I was glad that I saw this
physician.  The nurse gives a handout before you meet with the doctor
that describes his philosophy of treatment and one ot the things that it
states is that treatment is collaboration between doctor and patient, and
that each patient is unique in their expression of disease and needs for
treatment.  Sallette
