Anyone have success with battling hypothyroidism without meds? I really don't want to start taking anything at 26 but I have all of the symptoms. Very tired, can't lose weight, losing hair...etc. Also, my Dr. does not think this should be diagnosed yet because my TSH was 4.8 which is still within their labs normal range of 0-5. I don't know if I should get a second opinion or just wait. There is also a strong family history of this issue . Any advice would be wonderful! I've been feeling so faint and not up for my normal activities lately. I've been having spells of feeling disoriented and about to faint. Nothing else seems to have been found or determined.
