Packing the weight on with Armour mixed with Levothyroxine

[Boon79]

So, I was on 1 grain of Thai thyroid with 50mcg of levothyroxine, felt well, and could lose weight with exercise and diet.

Thai thyroid is currently unavailable so I ordered Armour a couple of months ago. I am piling on the pounds despite eating less.

My vitamin D, folate and other vitamins are in the upper range. I also take magnesium citrate in the evenings, and I don’t consume lactose (gluten does not seem to affect me).

Has anyone else experienced weight gain with Armour?

It is very expensive, so it is disappointing that despite feeling well on it, I have weight gain and often a bad back (stiff muscles).
