I'd test for the TSH.. my thought being if the doc is willing to work with you.. take the opportunity to train him in to the actual value of the TSH reading AND that all the levels are a GUIDE to be used in conjunction with symptoms..

Have you had the antibodies tested? what is your diagnosis?

Refresh my memory... How long have you been on Synthroid, or have you not started anything yet..
