Going without meds

I knew well in advance this day would be fast approaching so I decided to write about it and track my outcome. Currently I am without health insurance and do not have the hundreds of dollars to pay for lab work to get my thyroid checked and my medication. I know if there is a will there is a way. I am down to about 7 pills of 100mcg Levoxyl. When I was down to about 20 pills I started cutting them in half, then thirds then quarters and may even start cutting them in fifths. I am already experiencing the signs of Hypothyroidism. My skin feels terrible, my hands and feet are swollen, my face and under eyes are real puffy and I am feeling the hump in the back of my neck which is real sucky. The sad part id the medication itself if real cheap it's just the labwork and dr's visit that is just beyond overpriced. Dr. Reid's PA will not write me a full years supply and he makes me come in for all these visits and jump through hoops just to get aven a 9 month supply. With the Vegas heat coming and knowing that any leftover income will be sucked up by Nevada power I know I have no choice but to take matters in my own hands. I am not bitter nor I am upset I am keeping a positive attitude because that is one of the best contributors of good health. I have been looking into underground alternatives like buying overseas, silk road and even from a drug dealer but since I work and have a son I would rather be stuck with a hospital bill if worse case scenario hits than to be in jail. I have found a few cheap alternatives that I am trying. Not sure if they work but at least seeing how they pan out. They are as follows: Natural Sources Raw Thyroid Guggul and the miniscule of my thyroid medication that I have left. I know that I am shooting darts based upon internet searching and minimal research but will continue trying new things until I have a resolution. It is easy to pay. I have also ordered Thyroid-S through Amazon as it takes about a month to ship. Keeping my fingers crossed that this will be a good solution.
