Doctors please help! My Thyroid is craaaaaazy!?

Question

Iv'e been on Syhtroid since I was 8. I currently have no insurance & have not had my levels checked in months!
Iv'e never gone this long without a steady dose of my thyroid meds. I never knew that I would feel this bad!
Im 23 but I feel like an old woman!
In the past 2 months I have taken thyroid meds from Mexico..(the bottle is in spanish..I speak little to no spanish so who knows whaaaat i was taking) Then a family friend donated 2 bottles, 2 different doses to me, I started taking one that I felt kind of hesitant about (the pills were blue and oblong with an M on them) needless to say a week later I decided to look at the bottle to see if what I was taking was actually in the bottle and what was described on the bottle was not what was in it!!
That was about a week ago!
As of this moment my body is freaking out!!!
I am in unbearable pain all over my body...especially my legs, joints and my herniated discs are worse than ever!
I sweat, Im moody and depressed! HELLLLPPP!!!

Answer 1

You were on Synthriod, so any of the US named T4 medications should be OK. You can buy some as cheap as $4.00 a month at walmart. What you need to do is get to a doctor, whether you have insurance or not. It's your life and you want a life where you feel good. . Call your local hospitals and ask about free or reduced clinics where you can see a doctor free or on a sliding scale according to your income. Keep calling hospitals until you find some one that can help. You might even want to call your local city hall and see if they can point you towards help.

I am hypothyroid too and I would never go without my meds. They are too important to my well being to go without them. What I do with my thyroid meds is I renew as early as I can (usually 23 days) This leaves me with a little extra each month and in a years time you end up with almost an extra 3 months supply. I do this because a few years back my husband was out of work for 6 months and it was extremely hard to pay for the meds. Because ofthis, I always want to have a backup supply.

I'm not a doctor, so regard this as an unqualified opinion. Find out, if you can, if you used the brand name synthroid or some other generic when it last worked correctly - call a previous doctor's office if necessary. Then, find a friend that can translate for you, make a doctor visit, and get a prescription for the exact same manufacturer and medication as before. You might also be able to find the medication online from a US pharmacy and have it mailed. There's not too much you can do in the mean time - just get to the doc as soon as you can.

You need to get to an endocrinologist and get checked. There's different types of pills and dosages being prescribed regarding the thyroid and that's nothing to play around with. You can actually die from not getting the proper medication depending on how serious your thyroid condition is.
