Sandy,

I stopped taking the Armour because I have a lot of medical problems going on...

the worst seems to be fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I didn't have a doctor

backing me up with the Armour and got nervous if something happened that I

wouldn't have anyone to turn to. I think subconsciously I wanted that " hypo "

diagnosis. I finally got it. I've known for years that I was hypo just by my

symptoms, but this is the first time a doc has acknowldged it.

ly, I'm just so confused at this point.

Re: The time has come/

Tigger, refresh our memories why you stopped taking Armour?

Tigger,

there are so many of us that were denied thyroid treatment by our docs, instead

we were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and/or chronic fatigue syndrome. That is

why a lot of us are self-treating with armour thyroid because WE KNOW that this

is a mis-diagnosis. Believe me, once you get enough armour into your system

you will not have fibro or cfs (probably because you never did). All of these

symptoms are also symptoms of hypo. You need to read up on this. I would

suggest reading Dr Lam and Dr Lowe

Fibromyalgia + Chronic Fatigue Syndrome = Undiagnosed hypothyroidism, same

diagnosis. The first two are symptoms, not diseases to themselves. What's

the controversy, I don't know, because all people who were diagnosed with

the first two, when finally successfully treated for hypo, the other two

went away. I used to take the doc's word for it all too.
