Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Hi, I'm new to the group and totally confused. I have a diffffuse goiter with nodules and my endo wants to give me a med to stop it's growth. I would have to take the med forever. It was not armour but a drug that start s with a L something. Sorry to be so vague but I have been in total shock over this and today I found out I have an abnormal mamogram, so as you can imagine I'm pretty upset. My question to the group is would a synthetic medication she is suggesting be the way to go or could armour help? Also, would seaweed be a good source of iodine for me, or would it only cause the thyroid to enlarge more? I'm just a little reluctant to follow my endos advice as she is trying to dissuade me from taking fish oil and all vitamins except for a One A DAY ! The vitamins and fish oil have helped tremendously with my menopausal symptoms and general health, so I'm not sure where she is coming from. Does this make sense to anyone? Never had a Dr. tell me to stop taking fish oil and viamins. She said the vitamins made her feel " funny " and i might be better off with out them. I might add that the Dr. , though she was very nice and spent plenty of time with me, didn't appear to be the picture of health, herself. Any feedback greatly apreciated.
