Thanks for sharing your experience with me Markay. I've just moved to a new town and don't any doctors here which is why I wondered about gyn or endoc... I think I'll start out with an endoc until I get my thyroid regulated. I appreciate knowing that others have also had to struggle finding their right level. I have a couple of books on hypothyroidism and I know that it can tough finding the right protocol for losing weight.

Thanks again, Audrey
