Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 New Member Introduction - Long Hi Pat, Wow, you've really been through it! The only thing I can think of is to try Armour Thyroid. If your Endo won't prescirbe it call around Dr. offices and ask or ask your pharmacist who prescribes a lot of it. I lost a lot of weight (50#) ater going on Armour (had lost none on Suncrap). Especially when you mentioned gritty eyes. That was one of my most irritating symptoms. It takes a while, but slow and steady does win the race. I'm on 4 grains now and can honestly say my symptoms have resolved. It's been a couple of years of slowly getting better. One day I'd realize I hadn't had a symptom for a while like Carpel tunnel, achy joints or gritty eyes! I have hashi's and my TSH is suppressed. There's a very good website called " Stop the Thryoid Maddness.com " , which has literally saved my life. Check it out. And another thing that has worked for me is go by SYMPTOMS when raising Armour, not some numbers on a lab sheet. As Shomon says " We're patients, not lab values " ! All my best to you, Debbie -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
