Good Luck! Keep us posted... hopefully, you won't need a wizard to help you get through the visit ...

I think 90 day intervals for me are too short. Last year I saw him just twice.

Okay, thyroid panel came back well within norms. BUT:

He agreed to put me on the lowest dose of Cytomel (T-3). I'll probably make another post about that, since it has more to do with my hypo-thyroid issues.

All in all, a good visit, and I like this doc.
