I'm glad to hear you have had a full panel and additional testing. It sounds like your doc is taking you seriously. Please let me know what you find out after your tests next week.
Taking thyroid medication daily isn't THAT bad... I'll be on meds for life. The trickiest part is figuring out what dosage you should take. Just yesterday I learned my T4 is still low but my T3 is high-normal, so my doc and I are trying a few options to get me better balanced. You'll probably be making adjustments and getting regular blood tests for 6 months to a year. (Hell, I'm going on 10+ years of figuring it out now!)
This is my cynical bitterness showing, but I suspect the reason there is so little literature and research on thyroid conditions is because it's primarily a woman's disease.
