this is a common scenario for thyroid dysfunction to plunge after

hashimoto's....she never had any more problems?

About 45 years ago after her third pregnancy & birth, my older sister (now 69yo)

was super sick & finally found a good thyroid doctor.

After a year or so on thyroid she said it started functioning again by itself &

she hasn't had any problems since then & no more medications needed.

I asked her if she was on Armour. She said she didn't remember so could have

been on a synthetic. But I doubt it because her transformation back to her

normal self was quite evident for all to see.

Wondering if Armour can help the thyroid start re-functioning for some people as

it did for my sister.

Re:Tish/ Synthroid and Armour?

You are welcome. Just hang in there. It can take quite some time to

get properly adjusted. It's really hard for medicine to be as good

as nature.

I'm guessing she was on Armour too as it was about 45 years ago. From what my

own symptoms were back then during & after my childbirths, I prolly should have

been on it myself but never was even given any blood tests for it by my doctors.

Caroline, the TSH became available in the 1970's, around 1975 I heard somebody

say in a previous post. That is also around the time that T4 supplements became

available. Before that, it was Armour if I'm not mistaken. My guess would be

that if your sister was given thyroid medication, then it would have most likely

been Armour back then.
