Susie,

I'm sorry your appointment didn't go well..

I was less than happy with her (Dr G) after my last appointment as well.

I am now 25 weeks and I have been adding an extra pill here and there because I

have been feeling soo crappy. I'm actually now on restricted work - only 30

hours per week - due to swelling and high blood pressure... which goes down when

I add my extra pill.

My levels weren't far from yours:

TSH 0.006

Free T4 .97 (.82 - 1.77)

Free T3 3.1 (2.0 - 4.4)

I need more T4 and she wasn't willing to give it.. actually I could go a bit

higher on both..

I didn't know her philosophy on the Free T3.

I have an appointment with her on the 23rd.. which I am bringing old labs and

showing her where I felt the best. I want to see what she says..

Otherwise.. quite frankly, I don't know where to turn...
