Hello – I am running out the door to lead a support group meeting, but please check out the “Treatment Options” thread in the announcements section of the forum for the GDATF’s stance on alternative treatment options.
This is a difficult situation, but for me, if I knew I was heading hyperthyroid, I would try to exhaust all options before waiting – for example, asking if you can get a discount for cash payment of labs/office visit or trying to get a short-term insurance policy until your benefits kick in. You might also visit the hrsa.gov website to find free and low-cost clinics near you.
Take care!
