Happy Holidays to everyone! It been a long time since i’ve Posted anything. Great new, after 10 years of taking synthroid and deal with so much side effects my doctor took me of and put me on Armour thyroid 120mcg. I feel like a new person. I have energy to exercise and i’m finally losing the weight. I feel really good like my old self. Will test in the new year.

Brilliant news.... will be interesting to see if your doctor attributes the improved health to the meds or whether he will say its a placebo..... belive me, i have heard that line! They cant believe the evidence of their own eyes.

Definitely it will be a Happy New Year for you and it is amazing when the thyroid hormone replacements begin to restore your heath. It's a pity more doctors are unaware of how to treat patients to optimal health, rather than keep them underdosed due to the TSH alone.
