how to change from naturethoid to armour ntd. Hi folks for some time now at least three years i have been on Naturthroid sourced from the States. Over the last few months I had noticed that I seemed to be getting more and more hypoyhroid again. I had RAI four years ago. MY family doctor would only prescribe levo and i was not great on it so have been on my own ever since. I have not had a recent blood test as since covid situation i have not been been to afford one but do have a kit now which i shall use in a few weeks.

Question i realised on research that many had found naturthrud was no longer working ,my hair was falling out ,temp control dreadful heart racing,tired ,brain fog. so i have ordered two bottles of 1 grain Armour from the states in the hope this make is ok and I might have a better chance on it. I was taking 4 grains of the naturthroid laterally in the ope by increasing dose it would work,i has not. Can i just change over and start by taking two armour a day and see how i feel on that.I would then do the test in abut six weeks. Two a day 60mg seems very low.

Sorry if this is all too long but i am on my own with this so any help most gratefully received. thanks

Interesting - I’ll watch the comments from those who know more with interest. I feel great mostly on Nature Throid - I’m now on 3 & 1/2 grains - but I have lost loads of my previously lovely thick hair. My friend changed from Nature Throid to Armour - but said she didn’t notice any difference. I believe Armour is more expensive ? WHY are we STILL having to buy our own ! I think Hilary Clinton takes Armour.
