So in addition to low vit D, my thyroid test was at the limit for hypo, and my cortisol was low, so far. My doctor wants my thyroid retested in 3 months, and she wants me to take 2 cortisol tests that I can't afford. One of the cortisol tests is preempted by a script-I don't know how much that pill costs either.
I remember reading that for some people, subclinical thyroid issues need treated, and I was wondering if anyone here tried thyroid meds when their levels were just at end of the range rather than out of bounds, and if it helped.
Also if anyone had cortisol issues that were treated, and if it made a difference.
I don't qualify for medicaid unless I am disabled, and I can't get health insurance through my uni since the account was already cashed out with my loans that went to past due bills. I can't pay for any other doctor bills or scripts, am going to run out of psych meds in a week, and don't know what I should do.
Any suggestions in terms of priorities?
