(From Janie: there are actually many good docs in Texas who can do that for you. Join the NTH group and check the Files: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/talk-to-others )

Can you eat or drink right away after it is completely dissolved?

Thanks, Lisa

(from Janie: Hi Lisa. I’d recommend using patient groups to get answers: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/talk-to-others )

Upon my further probing, she actually SAID “‘WE’ don’t EVER write for “Armour” — T-3 is not really of any particular importance — we don’t TEST for THAT (!!) & NO one (like all snooty) ‘here’ (in her plebian medical group!) will EVER ‘start’ a new hypothyroid pt. on “Armour!” (Like THAT is a BAD WORD!}

I expressed my complete resentment over the ‘shifting’ by a draconian money-grubbing body politic of MILLIONS of women to a CHEMICAL DRUG! Then I asked her, “If I FIND a source for Armour Thyroid would [she] ‘be so kind’ as to write me my old Armour Thyroid Rx.”

She said she would, but she has no idea I am talking about Canada! I have a well-seasoned “hunch” that when I say I am getting it thru a Canadian pharmacy, she will BALK, & start lecturing ME about why THAT is “just NOT do-able!” End result? I won’t get the damned Rx!

See, no one at this medical group actually ‘hands you’ a piece of paper with your “Rx” on it. Its all done by FAX. Fax’s are ONLY sent to other pharmacies, within the U.S. Certainly not to ME! (a ‘lowly ignorant’& “tiresome” patient!)

I have previous print-outs of my Armour Thyroid Rx’s; but when THIS whole thing bagan comin’ down on everyone’s heads, the Armour scripts were replaced by the chem scripts!

Well … any suggestions, anyone? Seems like there oughtta be a LOT of us finding themselves in this same position, too.

In other words, what do you say that is ‘politically’ feasible to your U.S. doctor? I don’t exactly want to set myself up for some condescending ‘lecture,’ that is for sure!

[She’s already in MY ‘doghouse,’ a real INhumane, programmed ‘robot inna white coat!’ hehe Her name is “WOOD!” HAHA It totally describes her [NONexistent] ‘people skills’ & her bogus ‘superiority attitude!’]

Well anywayz, any feedback from anyone out there would sure be appreciated. I’m also very happy for those of you who’ve managed to ‘get back’ your beloved whole thyroid — congratulations! I hope to become as capable as you.

Thanks every one. I look forward … yay!

(from Janie: I can’t tell you what would be right for you, but for me, I would love to be taking Erfa’s Thyroid. I’m personally too suspicious of the reformulated Armour after reading of so many bad experiences.)

(From Janie: comments from patients who have made the switch said they have done fine with Erfa’s Thyroid. They state they either take a little more, or a little less, or the same. It’s individual. But most seem to love Erfa’s brand. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/options-for-thyroid-treatment )

I switched to Armour just two months ago from a generic synthetic.

(From Janie: old is sweet and can dissolve well under the tongue: new is not sweet, chalky, hard to dissolve under tongue)
