Thyroid meds (was Re: Re: a huge vent)

[Guest guest]

I also take thyroid meds (Synthroid - brand name for Levothyroxine) for

underactive thyroid (Note: it is important to always take the same brand of this

medicine). You may have your cortisol level tested - if your adrenal glands are

not working properly it is possible that even though you are taking thyroid meds

your body will not be able to utilize them properly. I thought Bio-Identical

Hormones were for estrogen/progesterone replacement - if it is for thyroid I

would be interested in them too. There is another type of thyroid medicine that

is called Armor I think - it is made from a pig I think - it is not considered

synthetic I don't think. Have you lost alot of weight? Usually with overactive

thyroid this is a side effect.
