My doc is fairly awesome with this stuff -- she caught it as soon as I started seeing her, and was all-for aggressively treating it even though I didn't think I had any symptoms. And she listened to me when I described how all the different dosages we tried felt, and with me pushing the dose up to get to a TSH of ~1.5 instead of ~2.5, whereas my previous doc said I couldn't be having any symptoms at ~4.5. (Which, at the time, I believed; I'd only had it tested because of a family history of thyroid issues. In retrospect, I was already suffering symptoms at that point.)
That's great that you have a doc like that!!! I'm so glad for you, having struggled with finding a decent endo myself.
