Get out your provider directory, call every PCP, and ask if they Rx Armour.

One endo who is known to be Armour-friendly is (?) Verdonk in Temple. Is he on your plan?

We removed from our list because she was keeping folks undermedicated. Your TSH at 4.2 would suggest that she is doing the same with you.
