		<description>Hi Everyone! Went to the Endocrinologist yesterday. Not only was I told she didn&#039;t have time to talk to me, she wouldn&#039;t consider adrenal treatment unless it was in the Cushing&#039;s range, would NOT do saliva testing, never heard of Nature-throid and threw a blood glucose meter at me when I told her hard and prolonged physical exercise makes me hypoglycemic. Any good doctors in the NY/CT area? I&#039;ll be leaving an evaluation of mine...

She did just switch me to Nature-throid (after researching it) but has me taking half the mg&#039;s I was taking of Armor. That doesn&#039;t sound quite right after reading the posts here...a little help, someone?

&lt;strong&gt;(From Janie: Join patient groups to get good doctor ideas, cuz this AIN&#039;T it!!!! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/talk-to-others)&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I am currently on synthroid and my nat path suggested switching to nature throid. We are planning to move to Dubai in the future, is this something I will be able to get there? Is it covered by most insurances? And if not, is it expensive?

(From Janie: Probably not about getting it there. And if your doc prescribes it, yes about insurance. And NO, it is CHEAP even without insurance.)</description>

		<description>I dont know if anyone has tried Eutirox thyroid medicine? I get mine from a pharmacy in Costa Rica and I feel ten times better on Eutirox than on Levoythyroxine. I do not know the chemistry behind it but it is a huge and fantastic difference. I still dont feel 100% but does anyone? Probably not. I do feel almost like myself though which is GREAT! I am considering trying Naturethroid today, have an appointment. Will let u know.</description>

		<description>I just started on 1grain of Nature-throid. My Tsh is usually 1.15 but the FT&#039;s are at the  bottom 20percentile.  Main issue is congnition, my brain was not working.  I am 35yrs of age and i have a memory of a 85yr old. Long story short, i was put on Aricept and made great progress in memory and mood.  I am now on 1Gr Naturethroid. My goal is to get FT4 and FT3 in the upper 1/3 range.  My HPA Axis has been tested via Metryapone test to rule out 2nd AI. I am good in the HPA Axis. I started noticing the awesome  mental effects of the thyroid within 4days. When can I  retest and up the meds , 10days or full 3weeks for Free levels? and how much do i up them  1/4 or  1/2? No side effects so far when starting at  1Gr</description>

		<description>I just started 1 grain Naturethroid two weeks ago after being on Levoxyl for 1.5 years.  I was on 125 mcgs of Levoxyl. 

By the time I was diagnosed with Hashimoto&#039;s my TSH level was 42.  I am 45 years old but felt like I was 90 years old.  When I went on the Levoxyl is was like the difference between night and day -  being 90 years old and 20 years old again.  I almost instantly started feeling better. But in most recent months - some hypothyroid symptoms returned - mostly body aches, sleeplessness and mild hair loss.  

My regular doctor was not interested in changing my dosage of Levoxyl or adding T3 or putting me on natural thyroid hormone.  I started cutting my Levoxyl pill in half and began to feel better but not optimum.

Because I want to do all that I can to optimize my health I went to a Naturopathic doctor.  She agreed to put me on Naturethroid and I already feel better.  I had no trouble getting CVS Pharmacy in Northern California to order it.</description>

		<description>sure appreciate the website and all the comments - I&#039;m just coming up to speed on all of this formulation change info and have to think back to my various experiences with Armour and Nature Throid.

Just wanted to mention that folks might find a good deal of useful information at the Marshall Protocol websites.

I&#039;m planning to start the MP therapy and will check back in and let y&#039;all know how it goes.</description>

		<description>i have read just about all of these entries.  thank you everyone for all the info.

at the present time i am on a compounded nature-throid -- made especially for me.  all it has in it is the dessicated thyroid and the microcellulose.  that is the nice thing about going to a compounding pharmacy -- they can make it to order.

i&#039;ve been on it for 13 days now, and just taking one day at a time.

for my adrenals - -i take 2 ashwagandha capsules [made by gaia] each day.  i also take several b-100&#039;s and siberian ginseng -- to keep the anxiety level down.

good luck everyone.  thank you for sharing.</description>

		<description>I have a 6.47 TSH and normal FT3 and FT4.  The doctor said he will work with me in using the Armor Thyroid.  (I had not heard of NatureThroid before today.) I guess my question is: with the formulation of either of the natural thyroid medicications, which include T3 &amp; T4, will they increase my normal T3 &amp; T4 levels and cause problems?  How will the natural meds work in my case?   Can you please notify me via my email?

		<description>Hi!  My new doc wants to switch my med from Armour to NatureThroid so I came across your site during my research of it. Now I&#039;m confused... On thdir website they claim their inactive ingredients are ... INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, Dicalcium Phosphate, Lactose Monohydrate*, Magnesium Stearate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Croscarmellose Sodium, Stearic Acid, Opadry II 85F19316 Clear.

*Present in traceable amount as part of Thyroid USP (diluent)

But you list a glycol and omit other ingredients they list.  NO GLYCOLS are healthful!!! This is scary. Can you clarify? And does the new Amour formula really without the dessecrated thyroid?

(from Janie: If you are talking about the armour-vs-other-brands &lt;a href=&quot;/armour-vs-other-brands/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;page&lt;/a&gt;, read it again. Glycol is only mentioned as to what was &quot;previously&quot; in Naturethroid.)

Thx!</description>

		<description>I switched a month ago from Synthroid to Naturethroid and am feeling 100% better. I had been diagnosed with hypo thyroid in 1973 and was on Armour for 18 years and was fine than a doctor switched me to Synthroid and I have had so many complications for last 17 years such as hives, vitiligo, weight gain without being able to lose weight and horrible leg cramps, cirulation problems and joint and muscle pain. Because of this site and other research I went to my doc and he actually listened to me when I said I can no longer live like this on Synthroid.</description>
