Finding the right dose

WENDY, DIAGNOSED WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM
WENDY:
My process of finding the right dose included several different doctors actually. They just were having a very difficult time dialing in appropriate levels. Hypothyroidism can actually cause a great deal of complications in pregnancy, so it was important to have it correct. I went through about three endocrinologists. I think it’s utterly critical you find an endocrinologist that you have a rapport with, you have a connection with. Gratefully, my endocrinologist has had my thyroid medication dialed in and under control. I absolutely love him.

WENDY:
If I were to meet somebody just starting on this journey, my advice to them is find a doctor they have an excellent rapport with and don’t settle for less. I have a very happy life while living with hypothyroidism. I trust Synthroid to keep my thyroid level exactly where it needs to be.
