There's a light...

So I have finally found a doctor who will prescribe the desperately needed natural thyroid. I was on Synthroid and after 6 months my TSH was still too high. TSH level high=low thyroid uptake. My energy level was extremely low and my weight just kept going up.

The only downside: my insurance won't cover any of it. Everything is out of pocket. The first appt. with medications = $450. This is a lot and luckily I had the student loan money to cover it. I think that this doctor is doing some wonderful things and is making it so that I can be more functional, that my thyroid can be normalized and my weight can go down. Of course, quality of life is tantamount. I am trying to remain positive that this will work for me.
