Grrrr - may they get subclinical hypothyroidism and be stuck with a
doc who won't medicate.

I watched my Mum die of thyroid-related heart issues, then my own TSH
climb for 8 years, plus a heart attack of my own, before I changed GPs
and stumbled across one who prescribed thyroxine with a TSH of 8. The
endo also thought it had directly contributed to the diabetes dx. The
increase in quality of life was astounding. These days, I know I
function best with a TSH under 2.
