clis - conversion from synthroid to armour

[Guest guest]

Janie-

Well, I have to start somewhere getting armour and doctor on list in my

area is a gyno.- how would I ask him for thyroid meds.?

SO, I'll take a chance and see if this pharm. will give it to me. I will

check for the " A " on the tablet. What will I do the next month? As with any

drug, if it seems to work at all I will get more from him or find a doctor or

order it. As I said, I have to start somewhere, the sooner the better. I

figure if I could try it and felt any improvement it would be easier then to

ask

a doctor for it.

thanks,clis

Hi Clis. Armour works! Most folks start on a safe lower dose first,

and it's important not to stay on the starting dose much longer than

a few weeks, or the hypo will return with a vengeance. So, if it

does for you, don't think that Armour isn't working, ok?? Also, some

folks feel the beginning of improvement fairly quick--like within

the first 48 hours. Others may take a week or more. Whatever yours

is, you hang there. Better days are ahead! Janie )

My old gyny ( I had to switch because of my insurance) ran thyroid tests on me -

as routine. He was great! I don't know if he would have prescribed Armour for me

or not though, but I feel sure that I could have convinced him to do it. Not

sure I could have convinced him to treat me with ignoring the TSH though. But -

I don't think it is unusal for gyn's to be concerned with the thyroid, so it

shouldn't seem that unusal of a request. I've been lax on seeing my new gyny,

and haven't had to request anything of her about my thyroid, so I've no clue how

she would feel - Although, she is young and seems pretty open. I'll have to ask

her at my next apt. - if I ever get around to making it!!
