Thank you Greg for your input. I think I do need to be on thyroid meds, but how can
I get on them if the doctor won't perscribe them?
You know, it seems to me that the first doctor's results showed something about T3
and T4...I didn't understand it, but neither of the last two doctors had anything about
those on their results. They just show TSH. For TSH it shows the acceptable range
is 0.47-5.01. They don't say how to read it. If you have under .47, are you
hypothyroid, and over 5.01, hyperthyroid? Or do I have that reversed?
I understand that meds for hypothyroidism actually do something about the
hormones that your thyroid is suppose to produce. Does anyone know (or have
heard) of natural supplements (vitamins, minerals, or herbs) that a person can take
to help the thyroid? That sort of stuff doesn't require a perscription, and are usually
better for you and don't have the usual side effects.
Maybe if I can figure out how to treat it naturally I won't have to worry about the lab
tests.
Thanks again.
