As Wanda Sykes said, "we running around in pink tights for money to fund breast cancer research, and all the seventy year old "studs" are getting free Viagra and complimentary prostate exams." It's time for a change! And maybe if we treated our pigs well (never eat anything smarter than you are), they'd consent to partial thyroidectomies. If we were men, Armour Thyroid would be sold in every Rite-Aid in the country. Cheap. I’ve taken to spelling Synthroid as Sinthroid, The drug most Enda(life)crinologists prefer.

Thanks to Janie and the wealth of information on this web site, I have never used Synthroid. I've gone straight into using dessicated Mr. Piggie in microcrystalline cellulose, prepared at a nearby compounding pharmacy. Had I not researched my condition and available treatments in advance, the endocrinologist might have talked me into a Big Pharma "solution."

When I innocently stumbled across my very first website on how these pills were causing adverse reactions not only for myself but for 1000's of other people around the world, I flung my little bottle of pills across my living-room where they hit the wall with such force that the lid popped off and they got strewn across the room in quite a spectacular fashion, breaking apart all over the floor with their low quality crumbliness. The sad part is that I then had to salvage all the pills that I could in order to keep taking the darn things until I could find a decent doc who could get me off the stuff for good! I still have the bottle, sitting there aimlessly in my draw - the door stop idea sounds good to me - using it to test out the strength of my new aluminium can crunching machine sounds good too. Anything that puts the bottle through it's own little version of a living hell suits me just fine :P Well I was on the new formulation of GSK Eltroxin at the time but same diff… pfft!

I have read everything I could get my hands on. I've even had a little success training my GP; I was the first to ask for Armour; he now offers suffering women an alternative. He has studied it (to a degree) and when I see him, he tells me of women he has put on dessicated and how much better they feel. I found dessicated thyroid in 2001 and I’ve never looked back.
