It was not until I found a very good endocrinologist (and even they are not all created equal in investigating our symptoms
and labs) that I think I have found some successful treatment. My thyroid
function was previously checked by more than one doctor (including my PP and the rheumatologist); however, too many doctors do not know how to "check it" and missed putting together all the various "off" clues in my labs, like the protein in yours.
