Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 > and if your doctor doesnt...and your labs indicate you should...then I > hope you will do it on your own. > cindi Yes I will! In fact, my husband and I have already discussed it and he's very supportive. My doctor is very good and knowledgeable (he's what I'd call a " holistic M.D. " ) BUT our state medical board has restricted him in how he can treat thyroid disorders...they didn't like that he prescribed Armour and also treated according to symptoms in addition to labs. (Our DREAM doctor!) In fact, they don't like him treating a high TSH unless the FT4 is also out of range...and he's already stuck his neck out for me as my FT4 was " normal " (1.4 out of .8-1.8) and my TSH 5.4 (.30 - 5.5). The interesting thing is he's never had a complaint against him from any of his patients (in fact, I've heard numerous accolades about him as a doctor), yet he's been targeted for his approach because it's not " mainstream " . I'm so thankful to him because he saw how terribly sick I've been and he had enough understanding and compassion to want to help me. My previous doctor just 2 weeks earlier had pronounced me " healthy " with a " normal " TSH of 4.8-and-climbing in spite of the fact I could no longer work and was nothing but a slug who had lost half her hair and who's face looked totally different because of the puffiness. My daughter will be going to Mexico for me tomorrow to see if Armour is finally available at the pharmacies again. I'm getting prepared, just in case...but I really hope it won't come to that! ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 , The last time I was in Mexico I tried to get Armour. They wouldn't give it out without a prescription. I did find out there are pharmacies there that will but couldn't find one during the trip I was there.
