>I don't think the cost of synthroid is that much out of pocket. I want to say $20 a month.
>This is correct. Every 30 day supply for me costs me just a little over $20. It's the Cytomel that costs me a buttload of money.
And I would also recommend seeing an endo if you can. I've had better luck and felt more comfortable when I saw a specialist. I've also found that most endo's understand that a patient should be between 1-2 to feel the best. Most GP's and internists still think normal is anything below 5.5! I'm one of those people where the lower I am, the better I feel.
I'm your age, so I know exactly how you feel and how much not feeling "right" can mess with you. I usually know that when my hair starts falling out in droves and/or I have to sleep 12-14 hours a day, it is time for another blood test. haha!
