Mouse: I was DX with hypothyroidism in 97. My meds ended up being high dose Synthroid. I dont remember the dosage. I too, lost my insurance and went off the meds, I didnt feel bad by not taking them, I felt fine.. A year later I went to the dr and told him of the previous diagnosis and he ran a test and said my thyroid was normal. This went on till 02 when i started feeling crapy. I had moved and went to another dr and just simply told my dr I had been taking synthroid but couldnt remember the dose.. He just gave me a script and never checked my thyroid. I felt better. He since left the practice and I felt my synthroid needed upped, so i told my new dr a different amt that I was taking and he too gave me a scrip no questions asked. A couple of months later, he did my thyroid function test and it came up normal and he said that my meds were "right on target".. (I have since told him of my self diagnosing and how I apparently didnt need meds several years ago.. he had no answer on why, but happy that I told him and happy that my meds are ok and on track)
Who knows what has gone on and why i went from needing meds to not needing meds to needing them again. I am so much more in tune w/ my body now that I felt comfortable with self diagnosing my increase in thyroid. NOT A Safe recommendation but thankfully I have a understanding dr.
Hope you get the answers you need!
