I was referred to my endo because my GP, bless her, freely admitted she knew very little about thyroid. 3 visits later and I am going to start on armor because I have very poor absorption of levo. I got it from the hospital pharmacist and it had a leaflet with it that is 2 feet long, covered on both sides in tiny writing, most of which reads like it's for doctors not patients! Bit daunting really... I really hope it works for me because I've been like this for 42 years and really struggling for the last 4. Wish me luck? Cx

Craftingbird, See if the leaflet is available on the Armour website. Maybe easier to read. Hope it works well for you. Most switching from Levothyroxine to Armour/NDT feel much better.

Thanks! Was a bit nervous coz liothyronine sent my heart into overdrive - fast, missing beats, ectopic beats etc. So hoping that natural won't do that.. I so want to feel well! Keep you posted! Cx
