Hi Shirl, at least you'll have some baseline metabolic tests. In hypothyroidism the cholesterol and lipid levels are usually high although they'll come down when your thyroid levels are corrected. Did she happen to order thyroid function tests? You'll eventually need to see an endo, but it would be helpful if this doctor were to evaluate and treat any thyroid abnormalities. TSH takes a while to change but by now your FT4 and FT3 levels would be useful in telling if you're hypothyroid from the ATDs or have moved spontaneously into hypothyroidism. Best, Elaine
