Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I had that tested and mine was off, but I have to say that since I " ve been on levoxyl and cytomel, I don't feel any difference, and notice that my heart races a lot. Does anyone else have that problem? I don't know if I should stay on the cytomel though because it's so expensive...$40 a month. I've been thinking of trying Armour, but read a couple people say they had bad reactions to it....and I " d have to do it on my own because my doctor doesn't believe in it.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I did go once, but it looked like a bunch of jumbled up information and after trying the iodine after you said that it works(I know, I know...in a different form it's a miracle) I about died in pain. So I'm sorry if I don't totally trust your information. While I don't exactly agree with doctors and the FDA, I do think I have a better chance of finding good info with them as they do studies.
