Just make sure that if you have other symptoms of hypothyroidism that a doctor treats your symptoms and not your numbers. The range for normal is very wide. The entire time I've been on thyroid meds I've been in range. Also, my endocrinologist stated that generic drugs are allowed 20% variability between them. He prescribes only name brand synthroid because the most minute amount can cause a significant effect.

Just at the PCP yesterday. I questioned the labs done with generic thyroid and they are fine. The doc won't change me to Synthroid even though my hair is falling out and my nails are splitting and breaking. I am stuck.
