Hi, like most patients the doctors do not want us on a natural medication. However, I did research on Armour thyroid and wanted to give it a try. I asked a couple doctors and they talked me out of it. But the third doctor said sure! we can switch medications and see how it goes. Within 17 days I felt so much better!

Not only does it supply T4 it also supplies T3 hormone. Pretty sure that’s why I felt such a big change. I feel better in so many ways. I also don’t eat very much gluten, because it is hard on the thyroid gland. I really love Armour Thyroid! and I highly recommend it. I am so glad I listened to my instincts and did not give up. I believe it a much safer alternative than synthetic forms

I had Graves disease and went into thyroid storm, the doctor at the time didn't run the necessary tests for thyroid cancer however did the TSH which was 0.005, then scheduled me for an ablation in which they did, however, they only used 9.8 millicuries of ri-131 which made my thyroid work harder and dump out even more hormones. After finding an endocrinologist she scheduled me for a second thy ... Show Full Comment

I had Graves disease and went into thyroid storm, the doctor at the time didn't run the necessary tests for thyroid cancer however did the TSH which was 0.005, then scheduled me for an ablation in which they did, however, they only used 9.8 millicuries of ri-131 which made my thyroid work harder and dump out even more hormones. After finding an endocrinologist she scheduled me for a second thyroid ablation 6 months later in which she used 25 millicuries of RI 131 which rendered my thyroid useless and made me hypo and treatable. I was put on synthroid however my body did not convert what was necessary and later I was placed on armor thyroid in 2011. My numbers got right and 1.25 is my sweet spot on my TSH. Armor thyroid 2 grain worked well until March 2021 when my numbers started to go up. I have not missed a dose or a day. Currently my TSH is 5.65 I noticed a while back the tablets changed with the armor thyroid, they used to be larger easier to break up and when you put them in your mouth it instantly start disintegrating, however, it's not the case anymore... so I know there was a medication change and the tablets have a harder shell. There's no reason for my TSH to shoot up as fast as it has in such a short time. The only thing I've done differently is get the Pfizer vaccination in March and then again in April. I'd like to know what is going on I've gained 35 lb since March!

Myhair is thinning dramatically and I don't know if its the armour or just age. But I feel good on Armour so not willing to switch to something else. It's so hard to know what causes what.

Once my optimal dose was determined I was up and feeling good. At one point the pharmacy switched me to the generic and after a few months I developed horrible palpitations. A cardiologist ran several expensive tests on me and everything checked out fine I decided to check webmd reviews and found others that shared my experience. Switched back to Armour and was fine within two days.

My hair is thicker, I have energy, my sleep patterns have improved, my weight is down, and my mood has significantly improved. Love Armor Thyroid. I wish more doctors prescribed it initially.
