Thanks Tammy and Christine,
I got the Levothyroxine in the beginning of December and had it tested in February, and my doctor was pleased at the levels, felt like it was doing what it was supposed to. Now, two months later, I called the doctor's office and spoke with his nurse, did offer to do the blood test, and they were firm that they do not need to test it further at this point, in fact would normally wait until a year had passed to check levels again. I saw my ENT yesterday, who works out of the same building, and he mentioned I might check iron levels or perhaps testosterone. I feel like I'll have a better view or whether things are improving within the next month as the weather changes and improves. Certainly the cold feet and hands will be less of a concern, and I hope to see some improvement on stamina.
Thanks again,
John D.
