She doesn't know squat. Off with her head. Did she Rx 30mg of Armour?

That is a very low dose. Once you get the right dose of Armour you can get

rid of the antidepressant. And get rid of the doc.

there is no such thing as 35mg, rather 30mg. $ynthroid and Armour doses

are like apples and oranges. You were probably undertreated on $ynthroid.

If you look at http://www.armourthyroid.com I think there is a comparison

chart there. Most people take 90-180mg of Armour. No wonder she has

trouble with dosing. There are docs who will prescribe too little Armour,

then you go back and say you feel awful, then they say " see, you will do

better on T4 alone. " They set you up for failure.

well, that doctor certainly has an attitude, and yes, it does make you wonder

why they RX meds that make you gain weight when you have issues with weight.DUH!

Armour isn't hard to RX.

I saw improvements of all my symptoms on Armour except brain fog...amazing

medicine.

the test most docs usually run to test antibodies is anti-TPO.

take care and hang in, sheila

better when I was taking the Armour. She said " well it's hard to get the

dosage right on Armour " and she said something about it having contaminents

in it. What did she mean by that???? Anyway.. I was able to talk her into

writing me an RX for the Armour...(35 mg) and danged if I didn't' get to the

Walmart RX and they didn't have it!! They gave me a several of a lower

dosage..until mine comes in on Thursday. Just isn't my day!! I also told

her that I had read where Zoloft caused weight gain...and no sex drive..so

she changed to to Efflexor or something like that. Why the crap would a

doctor prescribe a drug that MADE you gain weight..especially when you

already know you have H/T???? Not to mention the fact that I spent $20

thousand dollars last year on a tummy tuck, body lift and lipo

suction!!!!!!!! Doesn't make any sense to me!!!!!!!! She says that I

should see a change in my weight and sex drive (yay!!!!!) we'll see about

that one!

I don't' know what my lab values were yet though....I should know in a

couple of days! What test shows the antibodies? I'm not sure if she ran

that one or not. Anyway...that was my last visit to her...guess it's time

to find another doctor!

Good luck to all!!
