Welcome to our forum tulman.

Can you please give the members a little bit more information.

What diagnosis have you been given, i.e. hypothyrodism, hashimotos etc. When were you diagnosed?

Do you have a print-out of your latest blood test results, with the ranges so comments can be made. If you don't you can get a print-out from the surgery. Some charge a nominal sum for paper/ink.

What dose and what hormones are your taking at present.

Sometimes our dose is too low and that can make us feel much worse.

Best wishes

Armour thyroid from pigs is the closest to human and has been used for more than 100 years. Now other companies produce a natural desiccated hormone as well. armourthyroid.com/

Armour has recently raised their price considerably so you may want to look into other companies which are just as good.

Armour contains T1,T2,T3 T4 and calcitonin. As does most other versions of NDT.
