Hey I've had an underactive thyroid for over a year now and take 25 and 50 of levo on alternate days. I went to the doctors as I wasn't feeling to good, weight gain, pains and tiredness but my results came back normal , my TSH was 1.83 , this was the only result I got as my doctors don't test T3 and T4 and says they are not worried about referring me to see a endocrinologist even though many people have recommended it to me, just looking for some ideas on whether I have anything to even be worried about or not, thank you

    Yes. You need to see an endo. Sounds like your doc is in never-never land. Unfortunately, this is typical.

      He was telling me if my TSH is normal then the other ones will be normal and since there is no actual problem with me I don't need to see a endo.. ,and this is my new doctors as I had to change cos my other one didn't have a clue and always got my medication mixed up! Seems like none of them have a clue! Any suggestions please?
