Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 LOL. You, or should I say THEY, have distinctly described THIS site. 1) an online forum where patients actually DARE to discuss -- by NAME -- the doctors they feel have provided less than optimal care. 2) because it dares to say something negative about doctors, it is obviously a forum that is " insufficiently moderated. " Yup, this site will NOT moderate statements about the POOR care that doctors give thyroid patients.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Found this post that I thought was interesting: I am getting nervous with the Thyrolar talk and hinting at Armour potential problems..... I was feeling so " smart " about switching to natural before all the Cytomel shortages came down, but if Armour has a distribution problem too, I will really have a fit. I am having a hard enough time trying to keep my T3 in range as it is. Unithroid is tough to get/production problems; Levoxyl has more recalls than Doan's has little pills, Levothroid is a brand new formula; Thyrolar is on hold; Biothroid is on hold or unknown status; Cytomel has been having shortages -- what is happening??? You're right the only one that seems to have an endless, seamless supply is Synthroid -- if I were the suspicious type..... nah, can't be.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 What potential problems with Armour? Can you elaborate?
