@jabrown0407 --- hello again. I feel that each of us is best served when we decide which healing approach(es) serves our health. Yet, I'm not against prescribed -drugs or else I'd be in trouble with my Hashimoto. .. unfortunately, now I am in trouble because the FDA (headed by Kennedy) is now actively removing porcine- based thyroid RXs from category of accepted treatments for hypothyroid and Hashimoto. ..I can't do the chemical RX for my hypothyroid/Hashimoto.. Thankfully, I can still get something thru Amazon, but unsure for how long. -- I feel each of us has to be informed and take a more active role in our health. --Conclusion: you do you and I'll do me...And may everyone make wise choices regarding their health..

@bearbayou You may have options you have not thought of. I have had to get my BP drug from Canada due to multiple problems. The primary problem is I have to have brand because the generic causes my BP to go into stroke territory, brand works great to manage my BP.
I would recommend you check out ordering from Canada. Google it, there are approved pharmacies and their prices vary by pharmacy. You need to get your local doctor to Rx the drug, fax the drug Rx to the selected pharmacy in Canada, then call them to pay and have them ship the drug. It has worked for me for years.
I wish you success on your journey.
BTW - I agree that each patient needs to make appropriate decisions on their own health care. However, that means you need to know a great deal more than ever before to make the right decision based on your individual situation. Leaning in equals accepting accountability.
