Kcvance gave you great advice! You might want to check out Stop The Thyroid Madness physician referral page for doctor in your area. I have struggled with docs treating lab results for years - I was lucky that I did not get the 'depressed' label nor the drugs because it's been thyroid all along. I have recently changed…

Oh my I was frustrated and sick. I went to endo who 'thought' I had Hashimoto's but never tested. I found a new GP that is ND and MD - he ran all kinds of tests, changed my meds back to Armour. He has me on several suppliments and I've gone gluten free. I'm feeling much much better! I have dumped the prevuios GP and will…

[/quote] I never heard of Armour before now. I just read up on it - provides TH4 and TH3, rather than how levo works (just TH4 which is expected to be converted to TH3). Interesting... I'm going to discuss this with my endo as I don't produce the hormone at all on my own. And, I had a set back (energy, etc.) a couple weeks…

I have hashi's and I did not lose much while on Synthroid, when I switched to Armor about a month in I started loosing. My energy level is much better and many symptoms are going away (finally). I also have been eating (mostly) anti-inflammatory foods. I feel like the anti-inflammatory foods have kick started my weigh…

Thyroid and other autoimmune problems go hand in hand. Check out Gluten allergy symptoms, you might be reacting to the gluten in beer.

Stop the Thyroid Madness has been a great help with understanding my disease - Yes! Go to STM there is sooo much real information about living with Thyroid Disease

I was recently diag with Hashimoto’s after +20 years of continued dosage adjustments. Hashi is an autoimmune thyroid disorder. Fist I gave up gluten and that helped with some of the pain and all of y stomach upset. After recently discovering that I was in the middle of autoimmune attack (both tested antibodies where…

Because of the very quick 1/2 life on Armour - I always avoided taking my dose right before a blood test. I felt my results were scewed high. Check with your doc and/or Armour.

I'm really restricting my sugars so I crave sugar anything. I find when I eat a meal that is high in carbs (pasta) the sugar craving is really really bad. I wanted a mint last night - I have never liked mints but would have eaten a package of them last night if they had been in the house. LOL

+20 years with Hypothroid. When levels are incorrect I gain 1-2 pounds a week but never seem to loose them. I'm hoping I can exercise and diet to better health lower blood pressure and lower sugar levels before additional meds become necessary.

I've been on thyroid meds 10+ years. Weight is becoming a huge problem LOL! I hate/love BMI that is putting me not just at obese but Obese 2. I am looking for other thyroid friends. I'm on the bubble for Type 2 Diabetes and need to get weight and sugar under control NOW! Oh and latest blood test indicate high'ish TSH…

Great story and the pictures make your story even more inspiring! Congratulations!
