PCOS, Insulin Resistance, Thyroid Disorders......HELP??

I too have PCOS and hypothyroidism. I did a lot of research into thyroid disorder. For one many labs have the norm values for TSH set higher than the American Endocrinologist Association state that they should be set at. They state a TSH over 3 should be treated where as many labs state over 5. Because many docs go off of what the labs say (including Endocrinologist) there are many women who are not dx till much latter in the game. Also many docs don't tell their patients this but if you consume caffeine or fluoride, there have been studies that show this can actually give you a lower TSH level than what the actuality is. When I showed my doctor the information that I had learned and asked her if she knew about this. I was informed that she was aware, however, never tells patients due to the non compliance of patients. This is because in order to get an accuarte reading of TSH caffeine needs to be eliminated for at least 5 days prior. Concerning fluoride...this is added to city water and many can't get around this...I have well water so not an issue, and I do not get fluoride treatments at the dentist. The only fluoride intake that I have is when I brush my teeth which is not much. Before eliminated these items from my testing my TSH was 2.7 when I eliminated them (for 3 days) and got retested my TSH was 8.2. My PCP started my on Armour thyroid (this is natural vs synthroid which is syntheitic and only T4) 8 weeks latter my TSH was 11.8 (by this time I had eliminated caffeine for 5 days and fluride for 8 weeks, as I started taking water to work because they had city water (except toothpaste)) After that my levels started going down as my medication was increased.
Personally, if I were you I would try to find a doctor who will listion to you about your issues with your thyroid. If you TSH is over 3 go the the american endocrinologist associations website and print the information about when to treat, take it to your doctor.
Also a really helpful cite might be thyroid-info.com there is a directory there about the top thyroid docs in the us.
Regarding PCOS and insulin resistance, most docs including GP put us on metformin.

Interesting...I was prescribed Metformin but I didn't take it. I have hypothyroidism and the last time I went in my sugar levels were elevated. I didn't want to take it because the doc said it could upset my stomach while my body adjusted it. She told me she was prescribing it to me because it works as an appetite suppressant. That's when I started this weight loss journey.

OP, you are right. All three of three of these have similar symptoms. I have not seen an Endo doc, but I will after the first of the year. I would also recommend you do that.
