DR speak in my experience. Lets hope you're not as dismissive and superior as the two post sounds and that the patients a point of view and some input into their own lives.

I have learned more from reading this site and have found more reassurance and practical advice than any professional has bothered to give me. Please read my story: (I know it's long but it has taken 3.5yrs to get to this point of being and feeling dismissed.).................

Sending you <hugs> gemold. As a thyroid support worker I have heard similar stories so many times over the years. I also had something very similar and felt like :wall: as you must do. This is why I started to look further into my illness, learned more and became a support worker.

I have today been sent some more information. I need to sort through it and digest it and when I've done this I may post relevant information on the other thread that is running at the moment (I know you have been on that thread too).

Or, if it's OK with you, I may PM you later to share some thoughts which hopefully may help.

in my opinion changing over should be done under medical supervision.

I currently take a combination of 100mcg levythyroxine and 1 or 1/2 armour (alt days).
I started with 1/4 tablets of armour and built up, and decreased levythyroxine dose.

May I ask, how did you get the Armour? I didn't think GP's prescribed it in this country.

Gemold, if you go to the other thread you will see my message with some information.

I'll come back later (got to cook the tea now!) and if I think there is anything else I can say to you on a personal level I'll PM you.
