And here I am, have Hashimoto's (autoimmune hypothyroidism, the most common type) and I've been well medicated (Armour Thyroid) for over 12 years, but my body temps are VERY low. Why? Because I also have three other autoimmune diseases. Low body temps don't 'diagnose' anything. I'm sorry you have no insurance, I see you are in Florida.

You 'can' get your own set of TSH, Free T4, Free T3 through an online lab for 200 dollars LESS than the doctor would charge. One that comes to mind (There are quite a few nowadays, and I don't 'work' for any of them) is healthcheckusa.com You go online, order the labs you need, then they give you a list of labs near you..their doctor signs the lab slip, you pay online, go get the labs done and then they send the results to you.

If you decide to do that, there is a 'discount code' at checkout that will save you some money: 12345 (and it's under 90 dollars for Thyroid Profile II).
