hashimoto's disease
"I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's at 11 yrs old and was on Synthroid since until last year (I was 28). After I was off all medication for about 6 months and my blood test came back at a dangerous level, my doctor immediately got me back on a lower dosage of Synthroid, but I had one of the worst side effects from it - so she quickly switched me to Armour and gradually upped the dose from 30mg until I got to 120mg and my blood levels were back to normal.  I've never felt better!  I started to lose the weight I gained during my non-medicated time and I have energy I thought I never had.  At this point, I refuse to go back to Synthroid.  I wish I knew of this before now, everyone around me can see the difference in my moods, a lot happier!"
