Although I had almost every single symptom and a family history of hypothyroidism my doctors wouldn't treat me until I reached '10' [for TSH] on their stupid scale. I put on 3 stone, had symptoms too numerous to mention and thought I was going crazy! On the 2nd September 2008, I finally reached this goal, then and only then did they say "You will be glad to know we can treat you now." I was angry, disgusted and seething but took my T4 gladly at first; they made me very ill while I took them for seven months, until I'd really had enough of all the debilitating symptoms. Read my full story on the blogs!
I felt so miserable, I wouldn't recommend it to my to anyone other than my Ex Doctor just so he could feel how utterly down I was in the dark, empty, lonely, black hole I call Levothyroxine! Denise Belgacem

Hydothyroid/Levothyroxine 100 once a day
 
Desiccated Thyroid - Thyroid Extract (Armour, Naturethroid, Westhroid)

What wonderful stuff after just a few days I could feel me coming back even though the endocrinologist said I would have a placebo effect. I never felt well not even for one day on the other stuff. Read my full story on the blogs!

I have been on Armour now since the 21st March 2009 and still feel great and I have lost over a stone in weight!

However just as I am feeling great I get this awful, totally devastating E-mail bulleting from Mary!
They have changed the formula of Armour and it's making people ill, not working as good, apparently the new tablets are crumbly!

I could cry I feel so well and they are taking my health away from me God dam Forrest Laboratories!

But life is forever an adventure and may be I will now have to look for an alternative, at least I know to stay away from the black hole they call Levothyroxine.

Don't be scared to take a chance, just remember it's no chance if you don't take it! Denise Belgacem

Treatment

Hypothyroid/1.5 Armour once per day at 6am
