Laurie,

it's possible, from what my newest doctor said, that a person may be
alternately hypo and hyper thyroid and that a person may experience some
symptoms of both conditions.

 A previous doctor said this isn't being possible - that a person can
only be one or the other (he didn't mention eurythroid).

I've had 'combination' symptoms, so i suspect this latest doctor is
probably right.

Since your diagnosis, have you received any treatment for hypo?
