My wife was diagnosed being hypo (Hashi) about 2 years ago and placed on Synthroid. She continued to have all the hypo symptoms...mild depression, metal fogginess, weird rashes, weight gain, pains in her hands and feet along with random pains, hair loss, difficulty sleeping and low heart rate with her blood pressure up and down. After seeing her GP, a dermatologist, a rheumatologist and 2 endocrinologists, and all refusing to go up on her Synthroid dosage or letting us try Armour (labwork "within normal limits"), we finally had enough! We got the Thyrogold and stopped the synthroid. She has been on TG for a week now (300mg daily) and ALL her symptoms have gone. She says this is the best she has felt in years and its noticeable. We plan on adjusting her dose up more in a week or so and re-evaluate as needed following the late Dr. Lowe's guides. I highly recommend both STTM website and www.naturalthyroidsolutions.com.

Did you tell any of your doctors? I've been on a combination of Nutri-Meds and Thyro Gold for over a year now, but my doctor still thinks I take Levothyroxine. If I told him what I was doing, I'm not sure he'd treat me anymore. I live in a rural area with no other physician options.

That STTM saved my life also! I was in extreme pain, with all the other hypo symptoms, felt like I was dying, but doctor after doctor, even endos, kept telling me my thyroid was fine, that I had fibromyalgia, anxiety disorder, depression, IBS. STTM gave me the hope I needed to keep searching for a doctor who understood. When I finally got dx correctly and got on the right thyroid medication ALL my symptoms went away. I would encourage anyone with thyroid problems or fibromyalgia to read, read, read the STTM website. You don't even have to buy the book, there's so much info on the website.

Hi. I'd really like to follow your progress as I just got back blood results today after 8 months on Eltroxin (and gaining weight , feeling completely fatigued all the time) and my TSH is 12. It's ridiculous. My GP refuses to prescribe anything but T4 and frankly, I am desperate to find something that works.
My idea is to either purchase T3 on its own and supplement along with the Eltroxin, (I have just today started on 100, up from 75). Or I was going to try Thyro-Gold as I really like the reviews I am seeing on it.

Love to hear how you get on!

What is the comparative dosing oh Thyro-gold and Armour? I take 3 grains (180 mg) of Armour now.

I started on Thyro Gold on Thursday since my TSH is in the upper normal range, and my T4 and T3 are low, but nothing is alarming enough to "diagnose". I am VERY symptomatic. After 4 days, I feel like I am finally starting to get my life back. I highly recommend it.

How were your labs on Thyrogold?  I have been on it for three weeks.  No blood work yet but I have more energy, and sleep better every night.

Nobody here works for any drug company and we all know what NDT stands for.  You don't have to yell at anyone.

Desiccated meds aren't right for everyone, just like synthroid isn't right for everyone.  We're all individuals and have to take the medication that works best for us.
