A friend of mine forwarded me this site as I don't have the internet at home and don't have much time to explore at work, I have been fighting my right to health for over two years!
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 final reached this goal, then and only then did she 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.
Still gaining weight and very few if any symptoms less, I obtained Armour off the internet, what wonderful stuff after just 15 days I can feel me coming back. How strange that the endocrinologist said I would have a placebo effect. I never felt well not even for one day on the other stuff. What a fantastic placebo that makes my hair shine, gives me energy,makes my face spot free and most importantly brings a smile to my face. The only symptoms I have left are shortness of breath sometimes and occasional tiredness, it's great but my useless doctors, all 5 of them, say they will not test my bloods if I continue on this dangerous route. Only things dangerous I can see are staying on synthetic rubbish that does nothing but make you feel worse, and of course most dangerous of all, having such unhelpful doctors.
I am taking a 1.5 Armour tablet per day, I feel wonderful and want to stay that way. It would be great if I could find a doctor to prescribe Armour for me rather than buying from the internet. If anyone can suggest such a doctor near Doncaster, England, that would be a great help, thanks.

I had a very similar experience with a doctor and his PC.
With regard to your illness have you heard about Dr Wilsons T3 temperature syndrome,it can really help if your get your temperature up to normal, chances are yours is low.
Sorry to disappoint you further but large payments from drug companies to senior consultants have been standard practice for years and the more influential the doctors the more control the drug companies have, we are talking many thousands of pounds exchanging hands here. It stinks, but what can we do I wish someone knew, any ideas anyone? Denise
