Yes, switched from Armour to levothyroxine and liothyronine (t4 and t3). I have read books that suggest this is better for Hashis, and my health journey is very slow but continually improving, but do not know if the switch made such a big difference. Biggest difference for me was stopping gluten and dairy. Hope you are faring well with the switch.
