Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Thanks for the info . I have looked into this before.. but ALL of these programs require prescriptions... and it's the thousand or more for the doc and labs that is the major hurdle.. the meds themselves are relatively inexpensive... but in this crummy state I can't get medical assistance for thyroid... it's not considered important enough, it's more important the funding goes to drug addicts, alcoholics and women that pop out babies for the money or lack of responsibility.. us taxpayers aren't eligible..... (sorry, pet peeve of mine... one lady told me that I had to get pregnant to get assistance....another told me not to drop dead on a city street, the city would be liable for my burial... I'll let you imagine my reply...)

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 So you know where I'm coming from.... I'm pulling out of this... but it's taken years.... and if they would have help right away.. instead of going with out meds... I'd not have gotten so sick... but... on the bright side.. I'd still be on synthetics going that route.. I never would have learned what I have about naturals and all the other supplements that have helped so much....
