19. A few words about thyroid medication.
Edited on Sat Feb-21-09 04:40 PM by Manifestor_of_Light
I have been on Armour since 1966. It works much better than Synthroid. Armour is cheap because it's ground up sheep glands from the slaughterhouse.

Don't let them put you on Synthroid or Cytomel. I have argued with docs for years over this.

It's a big conspiracy to keep people on the expensive stuff, and NOT To treat their symptoms, to the point that they have enough energy to do things.

On edit: Armour is NOT generic. They will try to put you on T4 which is not equivalent to Armour.
Armour has T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5. My doc pulled a switch on me, and gave me Synthroid. I immediately had cold feet and raised hell.
