I wanted to ask if I can take some natural supplement that I can buy online for my thyroid instead of going to doctor. I am too sick to go there anyway.
My TSH was 6.15 and 4.57
I feel really bad and brain dead and crazy.
Thanks

Hi,
Instead of wasting your money and time on supplements that most probably will not help you, I recommend you strongly to see an Endo !

I was asking other people with thyroid issues and have been told that its normal that doctors won't prescribe me anything if my numbers are still in normal range but not in optimal range. I have been told by doctor that 4.57 is great and shouldnt worry but I feel sick and crazy. Not sure what to do.

TSH of 4.57 is not normal at all, however, since you do not have hashi, there might be other reasons for this high TSH, this is why you should see an Endo.

Look at this list of hypo symptoms and make a list of symptoms that you have and take it with you to the doctor.

The range was 0.27-4.20
It was at ER. Doctor told me its not too high to be this sick.
I read the list and have almost all symptoms but can barely walk for 7 months now. I might have Lyme but I am not sure but have symptoms too.
T3 and t4 normal but lower range.

You could still be hypo and symptomatic with only TSH abnormal.

The ER is probably the worst place in the universe to go for a chronic complaint. They are trained and equipped to diagnose and treat acute illnesses - trauma, heart attacks, strokes, etc. They are not good at treating ongoing problems like hypothyroidism. Ideally, you should make an appointment with an endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment of thyroid problems. Thyroid problems require follow-up every three months until stable, then at least every six months. ER's don't work this way.
