that sounds like they're on the ball. Personally, I don't see synthroid as being bad, if its the one I'm thinking of, its identical to what the body makes. I'd just get some other opinions before I put my kid on it. Those TSH tests and Tx can be tough to decipher. I recall Prof Abraham writing about how many people mis-read them and why, but I can't produce the article right now, although I'm sure its on the optimox website.
