Well ! I found out, that if I can find a doctor to prescribe Armour for me, my

insurance covers it. I had to give an example of what I would take - so I said

120mg twice/day. That cost would be $48.52. Now - I think.... that is for 3

months, but not sure - because I have to mail in my prescriptions and they are

for a 3 month period. That could be a 1 month quote tho - Initially, tho, I

have to pay more until I'm on a correct dose. so - I think I will also need to

find a doctor who is willing to write for a higher dose than I initially need,

for the playing room.

anyway, there is one potential roadblock that I can remove!! now to remove the

biggest!! and find a doctor! and - I think that even if that is a one month

price, it is good. right?

Hooray Cris, about your insurance!! Actually, Armour is quite cheap

if you can get it by prescription (in the US), and I doubt the 48.52

would be a one month price. Ouch!! When I was on 2 grains, I was

only paying about $13 a month. I'm on 3 grains now, but still using

my one year 2 grain prescription, so I don't what it will cost. But

I'm sure it will be good.

Cris, I think the quickest way to find somebody who will give a script

for Armour is to check with the pharmacy. I know the people who work

at the local Walgreens I use and when I get my Atenolol for my bp in

the next couple of days, I'm gonna hit up the pharmacist for that

info. I know they can do it and since he calls me the birdlady, cuz I

take a bird in there with me every now and then, he'll look it up for

me. I think the constant appts with all these dr's is only making

them richer and us more worn out! :-) I've ordered from myrxforless,

but I'm sure going to see if I can find somebody with some

intelligence in thyroid closer just in case I need it in the future.
