Erfa is the dessicated Natural Pork Thyroid

I am thinking to use the nature thyroid as well than synthetic. Is there any way know about the new technology to implant under your skin for the thyroid? Then, it can naturally produce the thyroid hormone. I am waiting for the transplant tech. Tire to take the synthetic. How is your blood test for erfa??

The blood test was the same. It was a little high on synthroid in January and the same in July after 3 weeks on erfa.

My Thyriod is not working at all, It's dead. Would that work for me.

I would talk to your naturopath or Doctor. I was on synthroid for 8 years and I simply switched over without any real side effects.. In the past I had not taken synthroid for three days as I left them at home. But the third day I had to call the doctor for I had double vision, vertigo, and only wanted to sleep. So I did not have that when I switched. Natural thyroid is both t3 and t4.

I'll have to talk to my dr. My Thyriod is a rollercoaster most of the time. If they can find something to make it more stable. That would be great.

I feel good one day and then feel wierd the next. Very strange. Have noticed exercise helps as well as clean eating-no bread, sugar,. Good idea to have different doses.
