Anyone notice any changes in symptoms after switching? I've had some recent problems that seem like they could be thyroid related and wondered if anyone else has noticed anything?

Also, has anyone heard if and when Armour may become available again? Thanks

Synthroid does nothing for me. I have my Thyroid meds compounded.

I could not tolerate Armour so I have not paid attention to what is going on with it. Sorry.

Agree with kgg. My thyroid gland was removed and I have struggled for years. Recently my LLMD had my thyroid med compounded from natural thyroid and I am doing much better!

I'm able to buy Armour again. When I couldn't, I bought compounded.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that. I'll check with my pharmacist to see if Armour is available here again. Thanks everyone
