Suprised to see my family doc

[Guest guest]

listed on the Armour website!

I was just recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I actually first

saw a PA in the ofice who actually took all my complaints seriously

enough to do bloodwork. (A prev doc just said I had IBS and needed

ant-depressants) She put me on Synthroid (generic 75) which I have

been on for 1 week. I have been reading and learning about Armour

during the last week.

At an appointment that I took my grandmother to last week, I asked

this Dr (the one listed on Armour's site) about Armour. He did say

that some people feel better on it than synthroid. He also mentioned

the bad smell it has.

My question to you experienced in all this is would you give the

synthroid a while to work first, or just go ahead and see this other

doc and ask for Armour? Does the synthroid work well for some people

and armour not as good? I am so new to this, but want so badly to be

better! My husband thinks I am lazy since I don't keep the house as

clean as I used to. I really am totally exhausted! We've had numerous

arguments about this. I was so anxious and angry all the time that I

finally went on prozac last month in an effort to actually like and

be nice to my family. (I hope to get off that as soon as my other

meds work for me.)

Thanks for any replies/encouragement you give me.

Hi. I am confused about this post. Are you saying that the below

post was listed on the Armour website, and is waiting an answer? If

so, I didn't know that the Armour site took questions. Or is that an

answer you want here?? Janie

NO sorry. It wasn't a question on the Armour site. The title

was " Suprised to see my family doc listed on the Armour website " He

was listed in the recommended doc for my area. Sorry for the

confusion.

As for my question, I am really hoping to get some insight from you

all as to whether you would give the synthroid a try first or just go

on and try to get right on the Armour. Does synthroid work better for

some people, or have you all found it not good across the board?

Thanks all!
