What's bad about Armour Thyroid?

[Guest guest]

Hello to the group - I've been blissfully absent for 2 years because

even though I have Hashimoto's, my hypo symptoms either disappeared or

reduced when I removed major stressors from my life, and I came off

the bovine supplement I was on.

Yoga and minimal stress kept me just fine, but I'm back in the zone of

major stress and it's brought back the hypo symptoms again. I'm very

grateful to be able to turn to the group once more for advice.

New doctor recommends Armour Thyroid 30mg tablet once a day, which I

start tomorrow. Typically, I don't like the idea of prescription

meds, even natural thyroid gland, but I think I need more than just

supplements at this stage. Some questions - what animals is the

Armour thyroid derived from? Any worries about (mad cow disease)? Any

other warnings I should consider from people who've not had a good

experience with Armour Thyroid?

Thanks in advance
