Just wanted to give you my 2 cents worth. I can understand your frustration, as that is how I have been feeling with my situation. I felt like since I had this thyroid thing, that I had to be better educated than the doc. However, now that I am with an endo who, I think is super educated and seems to understand everything. (He should with a Ph.D and FACE qualifications) Perhaps I will get real results.
As far as you are concerned, I would go with what everyone has suggested. Keep a record of all of your blood draws and results through time. Yes, its the FT3 and FT4 that show what is and is not happening in the thyroid. I have had to go back and reread some of my med tech books to get a better understanding of all of this. If your intrested look at a Clinical Chemistry book. It might tell you more than you want to know.
I like your idea of getting a second opinon as well as trying to talk to your endo in a reasonable manner.
Hope it all goes well and you can get some resoution.
