Do you have an endocrinologist in the area you live in? The only reason I can think the OBGYN wouldn't want to treat this is b/c if they start you on medication, thyroid levels (T3, T4, TSH) have to be checked up on periodically to determine if you are receiving too much medication or not enough. Sometimes it takes awhile for the health care provider to adjust the med to your needs. The endocrinologist deals with hormones specifically (such as thyroid, insulin, male and female hormones, and more...) If not, go to your family practice doctor...if you do not have a family practice doctor or primary doctor, ask the OBGYN to refer one for you. Good luck!!!
