    Again, I am treated by two specialized endocrinologist's. I have to get biopsy's 4 times per year, I usually get blood done monthly...but if longer (6-8 weeks), it is crazy to feel terrible for even a week, let alone months. I am 28 years old and I have already waisted 3 years of my life feeling not human and will not wait for my doctor to read a lab to...

    Because Armour is not FDA approved, it does not have a New Drug Appli

    My meds have been changed 20 times BY my doctor. I see two different specialized endo's. I get blood work done about every four weeks, sometimes 6 or 8 depending on the situation. I don't need a MD to read labs to me and change my meds based on that...a monkey could do that. My doctor AGREES that I can change my medication based on my symptoms. I don...

    I agree! My Type 1 grandfather that is 95 years old doesn't test his blood, he knows his levels and how much insulin by how he feels, because he knows his body. I feel like thyroid labs are pretty worthless and I don't feel like going to the doctor every other week to get a blessing.

    Armour is not, nor has it ever been FDA approved!! It was grandfathered in when the Food and Drug Administration was created. Therefore, while needing to remain consistent from a potency standpoint, they can make changes to the formula, fillers, etc. without trials. The REAL problem is raw material, so other natural thyroid companies as well as compounding...

    So sorry, I meant to type 200 T4 OR 50 T3, being that T3 is roughly converted into 4 times the T4. Ergo, 1 grain of Armour is roughly converted into 100 mcg of levothyroxine..2 grains into 200 mcg. I am having my meds made at a compounding pharmacy now so that I don't have to follow the doses that are mass marketed. If I take (2) grain pills of Armour...

    Mine went undiagnosed for at least a year and had gotten really bad! Since then, it has got to around 6 a few times, but I have found that I feel bad even at 2-3 and I also think it is a useless lab, but most doctors do not agree. My new medicine is a capsule, so I can't take partial doses, which I also think is the best way. I was doing that when I was...

    Wow, that does sound like the same story. I just feel like it can't all be my thyroid, especially when my levels are close to normal and I am still having a lot of problems. Although, the doctors have never been able to get my levels stable for long. I should not be such a mess at 28, lol. I was talking to the GI doc about doing the upper gi scope...

    Also, What are you taking for your Hashimoto? I have been taking Selenium and my Anti-TPO went from 2000+ to 37 in 4 months. Ask your doctor about that.

    In a nut shell: I am 28 years old. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto Thyroid (autoimmune) disease 2 years ago. I have had terrible GI issues for the last 3 years, but once I was diagnosed with thyroid problems, everything was blamed on my thyroid. My endo though I might have Celiacs and sent me to my PC doc, who ran the blood panel and came back negative...
