3.98 is not what I would (and a lot of actual hypothyroid endocrinologist specialists would call) a 'normal' TSH -- at least not according to endocrinologist who specialize in hypothyroidism -- between 1-2 is when one feels best. There is another site called: top thyroid docs (in the U.S. or something) -- here is the link: http://thyroid.about.com/library/weekly/bldoc-pa.htm
It is firstly a thyroid site and secondly lists all the states and thyroid doctors patients (there are boards there also) believe are top notch.
Second question for you: what has been your experience with Neurontin. I have just been diagnosed with a 90% chance of MS (I had optic neuritis 3 years ago, nothing on the MRI) then cold turkeyed Klonopin had a grand mal seizure and then an abnormal EEG and MRI showed tiny lesions (not even one 1/2 the size of a small regular MS lesion -- whatever that means) -- but the EEG found a predispostion to seizures (seizure focus in left temporal lobe) so the neurologist is putting me on Carbamapazine (Tegretal not the XR) -- which sounds deadly and I have an re-entry electrical heart problem so an electrophysiology study and cath ablation is in the very near future.
My friend in NY has epilepsy and is on Neurontin and says she has no side effects -- what is your take and do you know anything about the other anti-seizure med (not the Klonopin).
Thanks --
Sue
