Hi Paula: Years ago I was told I had Thyroiditis, whatever that is. I tried Armour but it made me quite sick and with a bright red rash in both arm pits (go figure). A couple of doctors told me that Armour is ground-up pig or beef thyroid containing many imputities, and there is no way of telling how much thyroid you are getting with each dose.
I was told that the synthetic thyroid replacement resembles the human body perfectly. My problem is the attendant side effects that Ihave been living with since starting Levoxyl 11 years ago, and the side effects are intensifying. Last week my doctor reduced my dosage from 0.025 mg to 0.0125 mg, or half of what I was taking. If that doesn't work I don't kow where to go next. Thanks.

I was put on Synthroid for years and years. Over the past month or so, I got switched to Armour which is natural. I also was taking several tablets of Thytrophin PMG. After having a blood test a few days ago my doctor now says my thyroid is actually hyper, so she reduced the dosage of the Armour. I got put on the Thytrophin PMG by a chiropractor that does Meridian testing. I feel better than I ever did with Synthroid. With the reduced dose of Armour, hopefully it will get to what is considered normal range. Paula
