Saw my endo today. It was a quick visit.  Just asked how I was feeling. I told him I dont know how I feel, I feel in between, not bad not good. He said, thats how he would expect me to feel.  Asked what meds I was on. I told him I was on the generic stuff. He said, he wants me to take brand name, he put me on levoxyl.   I was happy with that.  That he suggested the brand I didn't have to ask for it. He said there is a 20% error rate with generic and thats to big of a risk when it comes to thyroid hormones.  They took some blood and I wont see him again til March.

Sounds like a good doctor. I'm glad you're off the generics. They seem to be pretty useless. You have to wonder how or why they were approved if no doctor wants them! Does he expect you to start feeling more on the better side soon? Cathy :)
