Questions about thyroid test - EliteFitness.com

My daughter goes in this afternoon for bloods to check her thyroid. Last time they checked it was hyper and they prescribed her medication. However, her old symptoms (shaky, shortness of breath, etc) seem to be coming back.

It also seems that my wife may be having some thyroid issues as well, only hypo in her case - gaining weight, loss of energy, etc while improving diet and exercise.

It seems like (in our limited exp and from what I read) the docs have trouble testing thyroid functionality. Not that it's difficult but that many don't fully understand it.

Both times they (my wife and daughter) were initially tested - docs said everything was perfect. Even though we felt different.

It seems like I've seen it mentioned on EF that there are specific tests that should be run to evaluate thyroid functionality that the docs rarely run.

Are there any tests in particular that we should ask for? Is there something I should request them to look at?

Please advise.
