RE: Armour online

Could anyone recommend a non RX pharmacy for Armour - MyRX for less has

closed down since I bought it last.

thanks,

They are really excellent and they seem to carry everything! I ordered Armour

from them before I found my current doc who prescribes it, and I always received

the real thing (that is, Armour from Forest Pharmaceuticals). However, make sure

that your country is not on the list of countries to which they do not ship

(look under " country restrictions " ). If you have any questions, they are very

helpful and get back to you in a matter of hours.

Did you use to order from myrxforless in Mexico? I did a couple of times, but

I received something that did not at all look like Armour (the bottle was

completely different as was the manufacturer's name). They assured me that it

was the real thing but that it had been put in a different bottle with a

different label. It seemed to work, though, so I did not give it another

thought. If it is the same company, it was closed down and it was subsequently

involved in a law suit (in Florida, I think). It seems that myrxforless had been

selling controlled substances and that their business was not at all

legal...although they claimed it to be. I found all this on the Internet so I

guess it is still there.

Good luck with the Armour!

To and Catarina,

I've read your " conversations " on the chat line, and I wonder which (European?)

country is in, and I also wonder what web site you got the Armour from.

Could you please list it again?

The first couple of years after being diagnosed hypo I was on Synthroid. Didn't

know any better. Then a new doctor switched me to Armour. After a while my

pharmacist suggested generic armour, (whatever that is), they said it was just

the same stuff, and a lot cheaper.

Now I have learned here on the chat line, that it is NOT the same, and I want to

go back to Armour, (the real thing), even though it is more expensive. I used to

get the generic in 60 mg. size, and take one and half pill a day, = 90 mg. It

was a hassle to have to cut a pill in half every other day, so this time I asked

for a 30 mg. size.

Did you know that no matter what the size of the pill the price per pill is

almost the same? Insane, or what? I could have gotten a 90 mg. pill, and saved a

lot of money, but then I wouldn't be able to fine-tune the dosages. With 30 mg.

pills, I can take two, three, or four pills, monitoring how the effect is, until

I get the right dosage. Then, and only then, can I go back and ask for that

particular dosage in one pill, thus saving a lot of money. They seem to come in

all sizes.

I'm not even going to bother with the TSH test anymore, I've had a lot of them,

and my (now) doctor seems to go by just that. Without considering my symptoms.

Just like so many other stories I've heard here on the chat line.

Armour online

Hi Hultgren Catarina,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have managed to do what as taken me

nearly 18 months of searching, and following up leads for other sites posted by

other hypo's.

I made my first order for Armour thyroid (Forest brand) on line 4 days ago to

the site you recommended. It arrived today from the US.A, and no import duties

to pay in the U.K.!! I chose the cheapest postal service as well. Not bad eh?

The number of sites I have tried that WONT/DONT ship to EU countries, so thank

you. I now need advice on how to make the switch from the synthetic stuff to the

real deal. Anyone suggest how I start? I was pleased to report to everyone a few

months ago losing weight spontaneously and steadily a year on synthetic thyroid

meds. Still happy to say the weight continues to go down. But guess what, since

the last time I posted? What little hair I had left on my head as nearly all but

disappeared. What hair is left is the texture of coconut husk!! I wear a wig

permanently now, because the stuff I used to use to disguise thin patches just

had less and less of my own hair to electrostatically cling to. I guess we can't

have it all, but a bit of hair would be nice, being a woman!!!

Cheers,

Val.

p.s. not posted in quite a while, and I owe at least one person a personal

reply, my mail box is overflowing......

again. Thanks Tina

Thanks, ,

Now the next question is : Do they ship WITHIN the USA, or is it only for

abroad? I live in Texas. And how do you get your prescription to them?

March 1, 2006

Hi and Mark,

I never checked to see if it was for the internal US market. The site is

very helpful though, because it does tell you which countries it will ship

to and warns if you might have to pay import duties. I did not need to send

a U.K. prescription or pay import fees. If I had to have a prescription, I

can tell you now the mean s.o.b.'s over here would not allow it! So to

answer your question, I really do not know if you can get it non

prescription in the internal market in the US.

Try the recommended site anyway, it may have links to others.

Love,

Val

I just asked if she knew if International Pharmacy sends to USA, or only

abroad. If you're here, I guess that answers my question. How about a

prescription? I sounds like didn't even need a prescription!!! How can

that be???

RE: Armour online

To all:

Something to think about with Hypothyroidism. I would go get your adrenals

testing. 99.999% of the time when someone is constantly stressed (adrenals

release cortisol over and over again and never get a chance to rest) this

becomes a burden to the body. The thyroid is on the same axis and is the

master regulator of the body. So, when poop hits the fan internally and the

body is constantly stressed, the thyroid kicks in the save the day. It slows

down your metabolism and much more within the body. So, when people have

thyroid issues, most of the time that is the byproduct of adrenal issues.

Just some food for thought!

I checked their site a little more thoroughly, and the answer is NO. They don't

ship within the USA. So I'll try the other site, the anti-aging one, but their

prices are higher. www.antiaging-systems.com Thank you, everybody, for all your

information.

Hi Gracia,

Hey, would you believe it??? That's the very same doc I went to almost 2 years

ago, (summer 2004), after having seen an article about him and his clinic in a

magazine on an airplane. Small world.

I live in Amarillo, and if you know how big Texas is (!), it's a 10-12 hour

drive to get to Houston/Katy. So I can't do that very often. He's the doc I

referred to in some of my previous postings on this chat line, the one who took

me off Synthroid, put me on Armour, gave me coconut oil, etc. The initial reason

I went there was to get a prescription for bio-identical hormones, I wanted to

quit Premarin. I had just read Suzanne Somer's book, LOL. (Find out all about it

by typing her name in your search engine). There was no endocrinologist here in

this little cow town on the prairie who knew anything about bio-identicals.

The Armour was covered by my insurance, but the other hormones were not. It got

to be very expensive in the long run, so after some time I quit those. I don't

know how important they are anyway, now that I'm 68. I think the thyroid meds

are much more important. But I'm not an expert on it. I just try to read

everything I can get my hands on. This chat line has been very helpful, and

educational. Thanks for all your input, everybody.
