| What was your T3, T3 uptake and T4 uptake?
I can basically assure you your doc(s) won't have a clue about thyroid issues...I'm not trying to denigrate them or act like some dude named duck on an internet message board knows better than them, but thyroid issues have less understanding than most other endocrine issues. The whole industry is debating what "normal" levels of TSH and T4 should be, they have completely discounted T3 and T2 as factors in patient treatment, and if you are finally diagnosed as "hypo", the only drug they will prescribe to correct is Synthroid (pure T4). If you ask for anything else, your doc will look at you like you said his mother was a prostitute.
I do find it a bit disturbing, though, that your T4 levels came in clinically low twice and it was never mentioned to you...
