Linda’s Story
Started her own business, became hypothyroid and struggled, started on Armour, and now feels wonderful!
I started my own business just over 17 years ago. Each year became difficult for me to continue working the many hours required to run a successful business.
Eight years ago I had to cut back on my part time employees. And it was now difficult keeping up the fast pace I started with. Decisions became harder to make and people were difficult to deal with. I became disorganized, had no motivation, and became unhappy with life. I felt stressed out all the time and started distancing myself from family and friends.
Five years ago, I started to notice problems with heart palpitations, shortness of breath, feeling extremely tired, poor memory and concentration, unable to carry on conversations, forgetting what I was going to say, being paranoid, hair loss, poor circulation and numbness in my hands, gaining weight, not being able to handle small crises, and thinking I was totally losing my mind. And with extreme mood swings, my family couldn’t stand being around me at times.
As my symptoms progressed, my husband insisted I go to the doc. I hadn’t been to a doctor in 12 years and thought I was just going through menopause.
My Gyn suggested they I have my thyroid tested. My TSH level was 11. The nurse called me and told me to find a GP immediately. The extreme urgency in her voice made me think I was going to die! I researched on the internet and found some information on natural medication called Armour. I called a new MD and begged him to put me on Armour since I felt I was allergic to synthetic meds.
The last 3 years I have focused my energies on a less physical part of my business. My health is very important to me and I want to be around to share life with my husband, children and grandchildren.
I have been on Armour now for 4 years and absolutely love it. Most of my symptoms are gone (working on the weight thing) and I feel better than I have in years.
