Cathy’s Story

Her TSH was NEVER above 2.7, yet she had nume­rous low thy­roid symp­toms. She got on Armour, and the rest is history.

For more than 20 years, I had many low thy­roid symp­toms. And every time I would talk to a doc about it, they would simply run the dang TSH and say “your thy­roid is fine”. My TSH was never above 2.7!

I was offe­red anti­de­pres­sants by every doc that I ever saw, but I never could figure out how an anti­de­pres­sant was going to keep my hair from falling out…or make my skin less dry…or raise my body temp.

Along with all the other symp­toms, one of my main con­cerns was my weight. I ate bet­ween 1000 to 1200 calo­ries daily and wal­ked for exer­cise and con­ti­nued to gain weight no mat­ter what I did.

When my oldest son’s low thy­roid pro­blem was finally found, I was able to talk his doc into let­ting me do a trial on Armour Thy­roid. My mother, grand­mother and great grand­mother also had thy­roid pro­blems, so it defi­ni­tely ran in our family.

I noti­ced some dif­fe­rence on 1 and 2 grains, but didn’t really notice a lot until I was up to 3 grains daily. Then I finally star­ted losing weight slowly, had more energy, and felt “hap­pier”. I’ve always had an obses­sive com­pul­sive per­so­na­lity, and noti­ced even that was get­ting bet­ter on Armour. I do not feel as anxious and uptight as I did before Armour. In order to tho­roughly treat my symp­toms I have been taking 5 grains daily and my hair loss is nor­mal, my skin is nor­mal and my body temp is clo­ser to nor­mal. I use to have a “ner­vous” sto­mach but that is gone. I have lost 26 lbs in 17 months and I’m hoping to lose another 20 lbs. For the first time in my life I feel that it is pos­si­ble for me to lose weight.

I have always been told that I had a heart mur­mur that “I must have been born with”. At my last doctor’s visit he told me that I no lon­ger have a heart mur­mur. hmmmmm must be the Armour!

I honestly feel great! I feel like I have my life back and I know that no one will ever take my Armour from me!

So the moral of the story is that the TSH is very unre­lia­ble. I don’t need a doc to treat my num­bers — I need him to treat my symp­toms! And that nothing works bet­ter then Armour Thy­roid to treat low thy­roid symptoms!
