Thyroid problems are pretty common. If the doc you are working with is not already, I would ask for a referral to an endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid issues if scan comes back negative. Doc I work with for thyroid issues is an endo who does nothing but thryoid focus.

Good luck.

What did the T3 come back as? Do you remember what your T4 was as well? Do you have any symptoms of cold extremities (hands/feet)?

Have you read up or tried any type of Iodine supplementation? Do some googling around on iodine/thyroid function and there are some emerging sources discussing the relationships there.

God forbid, if there is a tumor at your pituitary, the surgery for this relatively minimally invasive (compared to other types of brain surgeries). Finding a surgeon who specializes in transsphenoidal approaches (through the nasal cavity) would be key.

Let us know when you get the intel..
