It amazes me the way doctors don`t bother to keep up with the latest info, especially with something as common as hypothyroidism. My doctor tried to tell me a TSH of 5.2 was normal, I oh so tactfully asked about the recent changes from the American College of Endocrinology and she did then talk to an endocrinologist at my HMO and increased my levothyroxine (not franky that I`ve noticed any benefit from it). Sometimes I think doctors are idiots. The above doctor (family practice) was lookng at my records and nodded in satisfaction that I had been seeing my pdoc, muttering something about my depression being under control then, as though seeing the pdoc meant my depression was under control-the fact that I`ve tried at least 30 meds and combinations for my depression without any benefit was totally irrelevant to her.
