My blood tests show my thyroid is just slightly above normal. My doctor wants to put me on Synthroid or something similar but the insurance company won't pay unless I am "within abnormal" ranges. I have another blood test on Monday. How do I lower it temporarily to get qualified for the meds. I eat well, I exercise, have normal blood pressure, normal cholesterol but am cold all the time, brittle hair, etc. I have all of the usual symptoms of hypothyroidism but I am only slightly over the acceptable levels for the insurance company. Other than juice fasting (the only suggestion I have rec'd to date), can anyone help me with this? I can't take being 100lbs overweight any more. The doctor has run so many tests on me and there is nothing else wrong with me, I am as healthy as a horse otherwise.
Thank you.
