i don't know if this is the right place for this post so it might be moved but i was just wondering if there is anything else i can do that doesn't involve medication right now. i am waiting to get insurance from my job and hopefully i will have it by may but in the meantime is there anything i can do?? i exercise and try and eat right (my diet is low carb/sugar anyway) even though it seems like it has not made a difference recently. i have proably gained at least 30-40 pounds since last year yet i haven't been doing anything differently. i wish i could afford to go to the doctor without insurance but for right now that's not possible. and i just found out today that since my job is considered part time (even though we work 37.5 hrs/week) we only get partial benefits. i dont really know what that means but now i am worried that if the doctor doesn't see anything wrong (it's happened before) that i won't be able to get the treatment i need.

any advice would be appreciated!
