Wow, that is an amazing difference, well done. You must be really pleased. 

PS - I can't stop coming back to look at your before and after  pictures - the difference is just so unbelievable.

What a difference:-) Can I ask what the difference is between the two types of meds Rudegirl  ?

One type is levothyroxine - the 'good' photo is on Natural Dessicated Thyroid Hormone called Thyroid S.

You look great and it is wonderful to have a life back.

Rudegirl, I hope you've shown these photos to your GP and/or Endo? All the medics that insist levothyroxine works for everyone need to have this sort of visual proof that it obviously doesn't! How can they seriously continue to dispute the efficacy of desiccated thyroid products with this sort of evidence based medicine!

Congratulated already Rudegirl BUT here's another one <3 xox 

Yes, I've taken my 'before and during pics' to docs/endo but had no 'after' pic... I do now - but I've taken a Family Health Tree... the works.  They don't want to know... read again, THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW.  But please do take those pics - as handouts with details - timing, products etc.  Rub it in!!
