Hi all,
    What is it about Armour that is so controversial?  There must be a
reason why Dr's don't treat with this T3 conventionally.  I'm confused.
What are the "risks" of Armour that are scaring Dr's?  Or is it just
ignorance to it's benefits?
    My "great" Endo turned out to be a jerk.  He spent 10 minutes (really)
with me.  He said "You have Hashimotos's as the cause of your Hypothyroid.
See me in a year for a new check of your levels."  When I explained that I
wasn't feeling so well since he lowered my dose - because he didn't like my
TSH at 0.04 despite the fact that I was feeling the best I had in years.  He
said what I was describing (hair loss, no appetite [but no weight gain
either], dry skin, fatigue, feeling unmotivated in general) were all HYPO
symptoms and my labs actually indicated I was slight Hyperthyroid - my TSH
went to .46 when he lowered my dose.
    UGH!  I'm confused, scared and getting depressed at the bleak outlook on
my overall health care.  Can someone please help me sort this out!
