QueenCityGal 76 Posted September 17, 2013 So today I got the most depressing news, my thyroid bloodwork is still out of range so now I have to wait ANOTHER 6 freaking weeks for another reading after another med adjustment I was ready to submit to insurance on Friday as long as all my labs came back normal today Independent Health requires the thyroid level to be at least 0.4 minimum before consideration... I am now at 0.06... how the hell am I gonna get up that high if they only decrease my dose by 25mcg?! (apparently I've been taking too much synthroid hence the low reading) 10 years and I cannot get this goddamn thyroid regulated, always having to change doses. Do yourselves all a huge favor and STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM SOY PRODUCTS. Soy is a thyroid killer! I'm doomed Good luck to everyone else here you all seem to be doing great. Seeya in 6 weeks unless I book a flight to Mexico and get it done there! 1 alxmak1021 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CassieWNY 100 Posted September 21, 2013 Hang in there QueenCityGal - It is worth the wait (I know...the wait is miserable!!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CassieWNY 100 Posted September 21, 2013 Frankly - there are waits on the other side of the surgery that are hair pullers too. I keep trying to remind myself that I will not be a size 8 when I wake up tomorrow. I keep thinking "Patience is a virtue". It doesn't always work.... 1 AmBeR09 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
