No, never did. I have no health insurance and not enough to get any, or pay for regular doctors or prescriptions etc. I did read that synthroid or whatever it’s called, is quite cheap. But I wanted to see if I could help it with herbs. I need to take more kelp, that is good for it too.
I pretty much treat everything without drugs; on a rare occasion I take antibiotics (bad sinus infection with face all swollen, for instance) but I am allergic to most of them anyway.
Even OTC meds I rarely get, make my own substitutes, use herbs, or get natural type things instead. I make a cough syrup that helps clear the lungs, the sinuses and is good for sore throat too.
LJ, I had a severe sinus infection 3 years ago and went to DR, took 3 months and 3 antibiotic prescriptions and it still came back.
I found a website (which I’ve lost due to a computer crash) that explained how to use colloidal silver w/Xylitol and do a sinus flush.
I did it twice and in 30 minutes all the stuff was blown out thru my nose.
I’ve never had a problem again. I do the sinus flushes as needed and it keeps everything under control
