Yes tute...#2 and 3 cover it best...i have been on 15 mg armour for 20 yrs. First dose was 60 from alt doc. First test i was high so he loweeed me to 45. Was there 9 yrs. Then moved and strted going to reg dics and had to beg for it cuz they said test was normal

The most i could get for many yrs was 15. It kept my test 1-2 points above low

I knew it was wrong but couldnt get good doc and the longer i was on that the sicker i got all over including cancer and thinking

I hope im on the right tract now

That's horrible. Of course your test would be "normal" if you are on meds. They did that to my mom after her 3rd stroke. Some idiot doctor at the hospital said she didn't need it since her tests were "normal."

They took her off her thyroid medicine that she had taken for about 30 years. They nearly killed her. I think she would have died had I not gotten her to Missouri. I didn't know they had taken her off of the meds, but I figured it out when we checked her in to assisted living here.

No wonder she was freezing to death in AUGUST (in Texas) and it took 2-3 hours to get her moving in the mornings.

Doctors these days are so pathetic.
