Nancy:

I appreciate your comments.  However, I do not have any real symptoms that I know of.  Hopefully waiting 3 months will not be a major problem on my system.  If I should have any symptoms I will get to the doctor immediately, and she will treat me -- that is not a problem with me.

Did you (or does anyone out there recommend that you) go to a specialist?  Others on the list indicated that I should get an interpretation of my T3 and T4 readings.  As far as I know my doctor did not do tests for that.  Are therer perhaps different treatments, different causes, etc. that would really require a specialist to resolve what the problem is before prescribing.  I believe that my doctor was just going to go with synthroid (or whatever) because she said it was lifelong treatment.  I understand that such treatment essentiall shuts down the  natural functioning of the thyroid.  Is that correct.

Hoping some others will jump in here -- I have a lot more questions.

Thanks -- dave
