Thank you. I appreciate the kind words and support.
So I went for a second opinion. The doc was recommended on the thyroidless yahoo group. He agreed that I probably need to have at least a partial thyroid removal. He did some more blood tests, but not all the ones I was hoping for. He confirmed the other doc's diagnosis of Hashi's and wants to send me on to a specialist. We'll probably just stick with the original doc that diagnosed me.
Test results:
TSH 2.77 (.40-4.50)
T4, Free 1.1 (.8-1.8)
T3, Free 2.4 (2.3-4.2)
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies 449 (<35)
He did not do the Reverse T3 or the other antibody test.
